What happens in conduction?

Answer 1

When Heat is transferred through a material, The Particles around it vibrate and bounce off other particles. Therefore it becomes a chain.Conduction is almost like a Conducter. When a metal rod heats up in a fire, the end turns orange. It vibrates all the way up in a short amount of time and eventually it transfers all the way up.

Answer 2

Heat moves from one molecule to another. Conduction occurs best in metals. This is because in a metal, there are lots of spare electrons. When the heat energy hits an electron, it starts to vibrate, which produces temperature, this electron hits other electrons as it vibrates, causing them to vibrate and the heat travels along the metal.

hope that made sense :)

Answer 3

Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat energy through direct contact. Heat energy is technically the kinetic energy of individual particles. The higher the kinetic energy, the more heat energy it contains. In thermal conduction, the particle with the higher kinetic energy loses some of that energy upon collision with a particle with lower kinetic energy. The second particle's kinetic energy is then increased, and upon collision with another particle it transfers some of its energy to the next particle, and so on. Eventually the kinetic energy of all the particles is uniform.

Answer 4

it occurs when hot, rapidly moving or vibrating molecules interact with neighbouring atoms and molecules, transferring heat to it's neighbour

Answer 5

The transfer of heat by molecular motion from a source of high temperature to a region of lower temperature, tending toward a result of equalized temperatures.

Answer 6

Conduction occurs from direct contact, such as metal to metal.

Answer 7

Conduction occurs because the increased amplitude of vibration of molecules is transferred from molecule to molecule from a hot end to a cold (less hot) end of a substance.

Answer 8

in the electronic structure
