Metals have "free" electrons, the free electrons in metals help to transfer heat together with the vibrating atoms.

Diffusion potential in p-n junction?

The built in potential in a pn junction. Due to the difference in carrier concentration between the sides of a pn junction. Diffusion potential increases with increase in doping levels.

What is 7 trillion electron volts in mains voltage?

They're different things. An "electron volt" is not the same as a "volt". An "electron volt" is an amount of energy. It's the work you have to do in order to lift one electron to a place that's 1 volt more negative, and also the amount of energy that one electron loses when it falls to a place that's 1 volt more positive. "1 joule" of energy is the amount of energy you pay for if you use 1 watt for 1 second, and that's about 6,250,000,000,000,000,000 electron volts of energy. If you use 1,000 watts for 1 hour, you pay for 1 kilowatt-hour of energy. That's about 22,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 electron volts of energy, or 3.6 million joules. It costs around 15¢ to 25¢ in most places. The "7 trillion electron volts" in the question is something like the amount of energy that you'd have to pay for if you used 1 watt for 0.00000112 second. It's not much.

The term for free electrons in metals transferring energy by colliding with other atoms or electrons?

The term is "electron diffusion." In metals, free electrons can transfer energy through collisions with other atoms or electrons, leading to a net movement of charge known as electron diffusion.


What is free electron diffusion?

Free electron diffusion is the movement of electrons in a material due to variations in electron concentration. It occurs when electrons move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration in order to establish equilibrium. This process is important in the conduction of electricity in materials.

How are chloroplasts and chlorophyll and stomata all part of photosynthesis?

Cholorophyll are the green pigment inside the chloroplasts which, due to there Mg 2+ ion, loses an electron in the light-dependant reaction. Those electrons pass down the electron transport chain and activate ATP synthase to create ATP for the Dark-reaction (plus other oxidised coenzymes like FADH2). Stomata open to let in Carbon dioxide into the leaf by diffusion and let out oxygen (and water) by diffusion.


What are the 3 types of diffusion?

simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.


What is the difference between diffusion and facilitate diffusion?

The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.


What is the process of spreading new ideas called?

Diffusion is the process of spreading new ideas from culture to culture. Examples of diffusion include the use of cars and the smelting of iron. There are five main types of diffusion they are: Expansion diffusion, Relocation diffusion, Hierarchal diffusion, Congious diffusion and Stimulus diffusion.
