Cu is more active than Silver or to put it in more technical terms, its reduction potential is higher. Thus this particular reaction is spontaneous i.e. happens on its own. \n\nThe reverse is also possible but only if you supply the energy required which is usually in the form of electricity.

metal: simple element at room temp. except galium, mercury and cesium\n\nnonmetal: simple elemnent at the three states of matter

Put a metal which has higher activity than Silver

.065kg * 35 * specific heat of Aluminum\n\njust make sure your units check out; you may need to convert this equation into calories as specific heat is normally defined in joules I think.

All Metals are tend to loose their electrons easily.\nSo if U heat an metal Rod then it's electrons gets energy by heating and start transferring to the other end of the Metal rod. So the other end is seemed to hot

You might be referring to Alpaca silver, which is an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc. It looks like silver but it is not, and because of this it is very inexpensive.  Low-end jewelery in Peru is made of this kind of "silver", high end jewelery in Peru will use a very high grade of silver usually .925 or .950.

Of the ones you listed Aluminum would be the best mostly because it is a metal.

Copper has a higher melting and boiling point and better electrical conductivity.\n\nIf you are a die caster, Zinc would be better because it can be easily pressure die-cast and hence better accuracy in the cast component with minimal metal removal for finishing.

Are you asking about thermal conductivity or specific heat?\nAnd why are you not doing the research you should be doing:\nhttp://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/specific-heat-metals-d_152.html\nhttp://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/thermal-conductivity-metals-d_858.html

gold because it holds and conducts heat quicker and longer.

Copper is a pure metal. The conductivity of metals increase with temparature owing to decrease in the vibration of the +ve ions in the crystal lattice. Germanium is a semiconductor. Its conductivity decreases with temparature. Hence copper has more conductivity than Ge at low temps.

Metals are shiny and are good conductors of heat and electric current. They are malleable and ductile.\nNon-metals are dull, and are poor conductors of heat and electric current. They're brittle and unmalleable.

Solid in room temp, but melts in your hand (slightly above room temp)\n\nAlloys quickly with most metals.\n\nYou can read more at the following:

jtkeel is mostly right, except the structure of copper is not crystaline.  Al3K is right about the structure of copper, which is the basic structure of all metals and is what gives them their physical characteristics, like their malleability, conductivity and so forth.

Copper is used as it has high conductence.\nWith high conductence we get accurate results.\nThis is one the reasons why copper is used in \ncolorimeters.

Best heat transfer should occur with a good thermal conductor like copper, to carry the absorbed heat away, coated with a thin heat-conducting layer of flat black, may be an oxide of copper.
