Lowest thermal conductivity measured is that of mercury.

If so, then Neptunium has a K value of 6.3 W/mK and Mercury has a K value of 8 W/mK.

I dont intend to argue with you.........
But why do you say lead is the poorest metal conductor??
Is it because it is the metal with the most covalent characteristics???

Neptunium is radioactive man! Leave it to rest.

Because of it's very high density and thickness.

But it's conductivity is still higher than Mercury. Mercury it is if he's talking about the thermal conductivity.
