Can heat conduct through metal

Answer 1

By conduction. This means that atoms of the metal become more energetic when heated, and they transfer this energy from atom to atom, so it travels along the bar from the hot end to the cooler end

Answer 2

'When particles are heated they vibrate faster. When they collide with the particles next to them some of the heat energy is transferred to the next particle. This shows how particles pass heat energy along a conductor.'

This is not my own words it is out of a book.

Answer 3

Heat is caused by rapid increase in atomic movement. The atoms in a solid speed up in movement and become less solid. The creates heat to expand and spread since the atoms are increasing an speed and hitting each other

Answer 4

To begin with a heat source (such as an flame) will heat up the particles of one end of the metal. As the atoms of the metal heat up, they will begin to vibrate with energy. The vibrations will be passed down the metal atoms as one atom moves another (think of pushing a dominoe onto another one so all the dominoes fall over) and the heat caused by the vibrations will travel down the line.

A metal is a good Conductor of heat, meaning that the atoms can pass on the vibrations (and therefore heat) faster than a good insulator (like wood). Also, as the atoms are closer together in solids, the atoms are more likely to come into contact with each other and pass the heat on than liquids or gases, where the atoms are further apart yeah thats the case

Answer 5

Heat is a form of energy, and when it comes in contact with matter it makes atoms and molecules move.

Answer 6

Conduction or Convection

Answer 7

yes it can through.
