Is conduction faster in metals than in other solids because metals have free electrons that transfer thermal energy?
Yes, the free electrons in metals are responsible for the high thermal conductivity.
Does conduction Happen better in metals or plastics?
Electrical conduction in metals nearly always (you can have conducting polymers keep in mind)
Heat conduction is most efficient in?
Heat con conduction is efficient metals
Does the density of metals effect the rate of thermal conduction within the metal?
Yes of course.Density is ,simply, a measure of how close the the minute material - micro units/particles - are to each other.Higher the density the closer will be these particles/units and the heat flows through conduction faster without any break ,resulting in more conduction.
What are the similarities and differences between metals and metalloids and non metals?
The electrons in a metal can leave the atom and move about in the metal as free electrons. While atoms in non-metals are bonded. Heat energy is passed along by vibartions as the bonds between the non-metals atoms are shaken. Conduction in metals is faster than in non-metals. Making metals good conductors and making non-metals poor conductors.
Why does heat travel faster by conduction in some objects?
Heat travels faster in some objects by conduction because they have free or mobile electrons for the conduction of heat energy.Such is the case with metals.
Is conduction faster in metals than in other solids because metals have free electrons that transfer thermal energy?
Yes, the free electrons in metals are responsible for the high thermal conductivity.
What is the conduction of metal?
The conduction is transfer of heat between metals,also called metallic conduction
How does the electrical and heat conduction of metals and non metals compare?
Electrical and heat conduction is much greater in metals than in non metals.
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
Does conduction Happen better in metals or plastics?
Electrical conduction in metals nearly always (you can have conducting polymers keep in mind)
Heat conduction is most efficient in metals nonmetallic metals water or gases?
metals
Heat conduction is most efficient in?
Heat con conduction is efficient metals
How can conduction be helpful?
Conduction can cause a spark which can light a light bulb. Conduction can be used to heat up metals.
What is the differ of conduction and convection?
conduction by itself is slower to heat but conduction and convection is faster to heat
Is metals and iron and gold a conduction?
yes
Does the density of metals effect the rate of thermal conduction within the metal?
Yes of course.Density is ,simply, a measure of how close the the minute material - micro units/particles - are to each other.Higher the density the closer will be these particles/units and the heat flows through conduction faster without any break ,resulting in more conduction.
