no, 5 kg chunk of aluminm and a 5 kg block of silver that are at the same temperature have the different thermal energy.
Bulk aluminum is usually a silver color. (Think aluminum foil.)
Silver
Copper is a better conductor than aluminum. Silver is even better. I think that at room temperature, gold is best, but superconductors at their critical temperatures are best.

Silver is a better heat conductor.
Yes, silver is just about the best conductor there is
Silver has fewer atoms. When energy is added, each atom of silver gets more energy than each atom of aluminum because there are fewer silver atoms in a kilogram. Because the energy per atom is greater, the temperature increases in the silver are also greater
the materials are silver, aluminum, gold.
No, sterling silver is an alloy containing copper to make the metal stronger. Thermal (and electrical) conductivity is highest to lowest as follows: Silver, sterling silver, copper, aluminum, then brass. The latter is an alloy of copper and zinc.
Good thermal conductivity is characteristic of the metals. Some of the best conductors are silver, copper, gold, aluminum, nickel and iron. Please see the link.
The metal with the best heat transfer is silver. Copper and aluminum hold second and third place in terms of thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity of silver is 418 watts per meter Kelvin.
The thermal conductivity of copper is higher than that of aluminum, and silver is better than either copper or aluminum.
Substances that allows the flow of heat energy through it are known as good conductors of heat energy. Most metals are good conductors of heat energy. Most nonmetals are not a good conductors of heat energy. Interestingly, the best metal at conducting heat is silver, which is slightly better than copper, but it is nowhere nearly as good as diamond, which can conduct heat as much as five times as well, and is not a metal. Go figure.
I would like to start off by saying that: Energy absorbed by metal = mass of metal x specific heat capacity of metal x change in temperature of the metal If the same amount of energy is given to all three metals, there would be the highest temperature increase in the metal with the lowest specific heat capacity. Therefore, Silver would be the answer.
Metals seem cooler to the touch because our perception of the temperature is governed by both the actual temperature, as well as the thermal conductivity of the metal. And if the metal also has a high thermal capacity, this feature will delay the metal from approaching the real temperature.The temperature we are sensing is of course how close to body temperature the metal is.As to which metal, the combination of thermal conductivity and thermal capacity will feel coldest. Probably silver or copper.
If you are talking about radiation energy then a vacuum is the best medium for propagation as it provides no means of absorbing or dispersing the energy. Consider star-light and how far it goes without getting depleted or corrupted. If on the other-hand you are interested in thermal/heat conductance, Diamond has the highest value I could find, with a transfer, or thermal conductivity value of between 900-2320 W/(m*k) Just for reference, Pure Aluminum only has a value of 220, While Copper is 380, and Silver is 429.Gold.
