P1 - Conduction and convection in the home 0.0 / 5 ? PhysicsAstronomyGCSEOCR Created by: RachelcfxCreated on: 10-05-16 18:36 Where does conduction mainly happen? In solids. 1 of 7 What is conduction of heat? The process where vibrating particles pass on extra kinetic energy to neighboring particles. 2 of 7 Why are metals good conducters? Because some of their electrons are free to move inside the metal. 3 of 7 Why don't liquids and gases make as good conductors? The particles aren't held so tightly together, preventing them bumping into each other so often. 4 of 7 Where does convection usually occur? In liquids and gases. 5 of 7 What is convection? When the more energetic particles move from the hotter region to the cooler region - and take their heat energy with them. 6 of 7 Why can't convection happen in solids? Because the particles can't move. 7 of 7
