How is energy passed from particle to particle during heat conduction?

As a particle absorbs the energy (heat) it begins to move and vibrate faster. This increased vibration and movement causes it to bump into surrounding particles more, passing the energy onto them. As more particles get bumped, more particles start to move in turn bumping their neighbors and conducting the energy or heat through the substance.

At what point is energy passed to the atmosphere by conduction?
at the point where there is global warming
How does heat depend on a mass of a substance?
The heat depends on the mass of a substance as there are more particles to heat up. When one particle is given energy from the heat, it moves around on it's fixed point (in a solid). When it touches the next particle, the energy is passed along warming the object up right the way through. This is called conduction.
Does the transfer of thermal energy by conduction and convection require matter?
yes both require the use of matter. conduction is basically passing heat from one particle to the next. convertion is heating a cold fluid and the hot particles move, allowing more cold particles to take their place and be heated. Hot air from a radiator raises, cold air moves in to take its place and is heated etc.
What is thermal heat conduction?
Thermal heat conduction works as if heat is passed from one particle to the next typically in a solid without the particles moving. Imagine these particles lined up like a human chain and heat is handed over from one person to the next, to the next and so on.
Which kind of particle when passed through an electric field?
An Alpha particle.

When a solid conducts what do its particles pass on to the next particle along?
I think you are looking for the answer 'electrons', but this is a very simplistic way of thinking of conduction. In a solid conductor such as a metal there are delocalised electrons which move in an electric field. They are not passed from particle to particle.

How does heat through solid?
The process of conduction is how heat moves through solids. With solids, the heat energy is passed on by the atoms.

What did the federal government decide about the atomic energy act passed on August 1 1946?
how atomic energy could be used during peacemaking and during war
What is the difference between convection and conduction?
Convection. This happens in a fluid (gas or liquid), When a mass of fluid is heated it expands and becomes less dense than the unheated fluid round it. This density difference causes it to rise against gravity, bodily moving the whole mass of warm fluid. Obviously convection could not happen where there was no gravity (eg in a spacecraft orbiting Earth). Conduction. This happens because heat energy causes atoms or molecules to vibrate faster. As they do so they bump into the atom or molecule next to them and cause this to vibrate more. In this way the energy is passed along inside the body of the substance. Obviously this means while convection can not happen in space, conduction and and does. Convection and conduction are related the vibrational energy of conduction is what causes the fluid to expand, its molecules vibrating harder take up more room. Also understand that Heat energy is actually a specific form of Kinetic energy - an energy of motion - but happening at the atomic scale.
