Answer:

The copper pan!

Step-by-step explanation:

Copper conducts heat well because its atoms contain only one free valence electrons in the outer shell. Elements with a low number of valence electrons transfer heat the best, and copper has only one. Valence electrons move about freely.

Good luck on your assignment!
