On a molecular level How does heat transfer from a hot object to a cold object?

When things get hot they release lots electrons, on the cooler side the energy released by the hot thing excites the cooler thing in a type of stabilizing process because of the transfer of energy.

How is heat conducted through a metal?
heat is the byproduct of an object vibrating at the molecular level. When those vibrations transmit to nearby collision molecules, heat transfer occurs. Generally, the less a metal weighs, the quicker it can transfer heat. Aluminum is a good example of this. But a hot aluminum pan will warp easily if you put cold water on it. Cast iron transfers heat much slower and doesn't easily warp if you douse it with cold water
What happens when steam hits a cold object like a plate?
The steam will condense and transfer its heat energy to the object.
When does energy transfer from a cold object to a hot object?
heat only move from high temp to lower temp
How does heat transfer to cups?
Heat transfer to cups (or other solid objects) happens on a molecular level; fast moving hot molecules (perhaps in your hot coffee) collide with slower moving cold molecules (in your cup) and speed them up, giving up some of their own momentum.
Does heat transfer mean the same as heat transformation?
heat transfer is when heat from one object transfers to another. Heat transformation is when you have enough heat or cold to change the state of an object (ice to water).

What causes heat energy to transfer from one object to another?
It's when the objects have a different temperature. As if one object were cold and the other was warm. -lu
What happens to hot and cold objects when they brought together?
If heat can flow between them, then heat flows from the hot one to the cold one. The temperature of the hot object falls, and the temperature of the cold object rises. What drives the transfer of heat is the difference in temperature, so as soon as both objects are at the same temperature, the process stops, and no more heat is transferred.
What is heat transfered from a cold object to a warm one?
Heat is a measure of how quickly the atoms of an object are vibrating. When a warm object touches a cooler object, the vibrating atoms from the warm object cause the atoms of the cooler object to vibrate more, and thus become warmer. There are three main ways of heat transfer conduction convection and radiation.
What is the movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called?
Heat tends to travel faster and to even up temp by mixing with cold, and this action is called "heat transfer"
The movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called what?
Heat tends to travel faster and to even up temp by mixing with cold, and this action is called "heat transfer"
What is heat and why does some things feel cold or warm?
Heat is molecular vibration and can be transfer through eonduction, convection and radiation. Different object had different heat capacity and conduction. We human sense if it is hot or cold from whether we gain or loss heat. In a cold room, walking on cold carpet is still warm because we do not loss much heat to carpet but if we walk on stone or concrete, we loss heat rapidly and we feel it is cloder than carpet even it is at the same temperature.
What is Cold is the opposite of?
The opposite condition from cold is hot.The opposite of cold as a experienced condition (the cold) would be the heat.Cold and hot express relative variations in thermal energy (molecular energy), so that an object cannot not possess greater cold, but rather less heat.*The opposite of a cold person would be warm, kind, or considerate.hot
