3 of 23
What is the main cause of conduction in Metals?
Free Electrons
4 of 23
Why are non-metals poor conductors?
They don't have free electrons
5 of 23
Convection occurs in ...
Liquids and Gases
6 of 23
what is convection?
the circulation of a fluid caused by heating
7 of 23
what causes convection?
heating a fluid makes it less dense so it rises and circulates
