How does conduction worrk?
Conduction can only occur in solids. Good conductors are metal, for example. In conduction, there is a heat source. The heat will heat up one part of the solid. As a result, the particles vibrate voilently. Then, the vibrating particles will make particles next to them vibrate and so on...
What is heat transfer through conduction?
Conduction refers to heat transfer through solids. It is due to conduction that if we heat one side of a rod and place our hand on the other side, we feel the heat.What, basically, happens is that at the point that you have heated the rod, the particles gain more energy. As the particles in a solid are fixed in their position - and can only vibrate - due to the increase in eneery, the particles vibrate faster about their equilibrium positions. When they vibrate faster, they cause the particles around them to also vibrate faster, increasing their temperature. When these particles also start vibrating faster, the cycle is repeated and they cause the particles around them to also vibrate faster, increasing their temperature as well. In this way, the disturbance is spread all over the rod, which is why you feel the heat on the other side of the rod, even though that side is not in direct contact with the heat.
Convection cannot take place in a solid because the particles can only vibrate and not move from one place to another?
Sure there can be conduction, but quite often, most of the heat will be transposrted by convection, not conduction.
What changes of states particles vibrate in place?
When a body freezes, its particles vibrate in place.
What heat transfer is where heat energy is transferred by particles to neighbouring particles?
That is called conduction.
How does conduction heat solids?
Heat energy from the source causes the particles to oscillate (vibrate) this chains and causes neighbouring particles to vibrate.

How does heat conduction work?
When energy is transfered to something which conducts heat, the particles in the solid object start to vibrate. As more energy is transfered to the particles, it spreads across the solid objects particles. The hotter the solid, the more it's particles vibrate.
How is heat transferred between two materials in conduction?
The particles vibrate and cause the particles next to it to vibrate and so on until the vibrations transfer to the next material. This works better in solids because the particles are more tightly packed.

When you boil water what do the particles do?
The particles gain energy (kinetic energy) and begin to vibrate. This vibration causes heat. As the particle vibrates, it will collide with other particles in water and pass this energy on to neighbouring particles which causes the heat conduction.
Particles vibrate faster when they are cooled?
Particles vibrate faster when they are heated.

Why is a solid the best conductor of heat?
The conduction of heat is the vibration of the atoms in the material. A solid's atoms are very close together, so that when a particle is heated and begins to vibrate, the other particles vibrate as well very quickly Hope that helped
Do particles vibrate slower when heated?
No, they vibrate faster.
What heat transfer is where heat energy is transferred by particles to neighbouring particles?
That is called conduction.
