- Conduction
- Only occurs in solids because particles are held together tightly
- When a solid object is heated, the particles vibrate
- They pass on their extra kinetic energy to neighboring particles
- Which makes them vibrate
- At the end of this process, the solid is the same temperature throughout the object
- Which makes them vibrate
- They pass on their extra kinetic energy to neighboring particles
- The heat flow goes from hot to cold
- Conduction occurs better in metals than non-metals.
- This is because of the heat that is carried by free electrons that can carry the energy around the metal and give it to other electrons and ions
