Element Electrical resistivity @ 20°C Density (near r.t.) Found on Luna?
Silver 15.87 nΩ·m 10.49  g·cm−3 Unknown
Copper 16.78 nΩ·m 8.96 g·cm−3 Unknown
Gold 22.14 nΩ·m 19.3  g·cm−3 Unknown
Aluminum 26.50 nΩ·m 2.70 g·cm−3 Yes
Magnesium 43.90 nΩ·m 1.738 g·cm−3 Yes
Iron 96.10 nΩ·m 7.15 g·cm−3 Yes
Chromium 125.00 nΩ·m 7.86 g·cm−3 Yes
Titanium 420.00 nΩ·m 4.506 g·cm−3 Yes
Manganese 1440.00 nΩ·m 7.21 g·cm−3 Yes
Lower number => better conductor r.t. = room temperature

Thinking Moon

The Sodium entry is a good example of thinking Moon. That is, looking at ideas that are insignificant when used on Earth but could really save the day when used on the Moon. It does take a rather long scenario to show how Sodium could be used, but this is part of the process needed to compare complicated technical ideas.
