Conduction, whether of heat, sound, electricity, or whatever, does require some form of matter. There do exist exotic forms of matter other than atoms or molecules. For example, stars are composed of plasma, a superheated product of atoms which are completely ionized, so that you get a mixture of atomic nuclei and electrons. And other, even more exotic forms exist, such as neutronium, found in neutron stars and consisting entirely of neutrons. Matter of whatever form is capable of conduction.

Does radiation need atoms and molecules to work?
nope
How do atoms link to make a molecule?
Atoms are the smallest forms of life. So they are the basis of life as we know it. Then there are molecules. Molecules are built up of two or more atoms. So basically atoms and molecules are connected because atoms make up molecules.
If there are two atoms of oxygen and four atoms of hydrogen before the reaction what will be true after the reaction?
Two water molecules and a release of energy. This is how fuel cells work.
Why do chemist work with moles of individual atoms?
They need a counting unit to count the number of atoms, molecules, or formula units of a substance.
How many grams of oxygen gas is contained in 11.2L 02 gas at stp?
To determine how many atoms are present in 56 liters of oxygen gas at STP you first need to know that there are two atoms in a single molecule. Then, you would work the scientific formula to determine the number of molecules in the oxygen gas.
Does radiation need atoms and molecules to work?
nope
Heat from the sun reaches you by which form of heat transfer?
Radiation This is because between the Sun and the earth there is a vacuum (there are no air molecules). So conduction and convection will be no use as they need molecules and atoms to work: they transfer heat through them or the molecules carry the heat. HOWEVER: Radiation needs no particles or atoms or molecules or anything for heat transfer, so the sun's light energy is transferred to us by radiation.
Does conduction work best in gas?
No, conduction works via contact between molecules - as gas molecules are more spaced out from one another, they are less likely to come into contact than molecules in liquids or solids
How do atoms link to make a molecule?

Molecules of three or more elements may be nonpolar if the geometric shape is?
Symmetrical. The bonds will need to be nonpolar for this to work since the electrons will need to be shared equally between the two atoms.
What does conduction and convection need to work?
Heat energy and a temperature difference.
How does a conduction convection cooker work?
conduction: It z da transfer of heat energy in SOLIDS.When a solid is heated, the atoms begin to vibrate with greater amplitude, in this way one atom transfers heat energy 2 its neighbouring atom. Hence heat is transferred 4m 1 end of the solid to the other end. In conduction, heat is transfered but the atoms do not leave their mean position.
If there are two atoms of oxygen and four atoms of hydrogen before the reaction what will be true after the reaction?
Two water molecules and a release of energy. This is how fuel cells work.
Does conduction work in vacuum?
No. Conduction needs a material and an atmosphere to be transmitted.
Which state of matter does conduction work the best?
Conduction works best with a solid.
Does conduction work well in air?
no
How does conduction work in non metals?
im trying to do my science homework about conduction and i know how it works in metals but why and how does it not work in non-metals
