Since that's what heat is (the motion of atoms),

how better to transfer than by random collisions?

yes.

How can heat be transferred through matter by the collisions of atoms or through space?

The transfer by collisions of atoms is called conduction. Transfer directly through space is radiationl


How does radiant waves transfer heat energy?

By exciting the atoms in the matter. Pr. definition, heat is the jiggling of atoms, the radiant energy is shaking the atoms, by doing this the heat is transferred and absorbed.

What is collision potential and closing potential?

Collision potential and closing potential have to do with physics. These terms are in reference to how fast atoms collide with each other and the result of the collision. The faster the atoms are moving the greater the closing potential.


What kind of chemical bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atoms to atoms?

A covalent bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atom to atom.


Why solids pick up heat fast as compared to air?

Heat transfer takes place due to collision in atoms (of which everything around us is mad). In solids these atoms are near to each other but in gas atoms are very very far from each other. So in case of solids, it is easier to transfer the heat in form of collisions but in air it is difficult to transfer these collisions. Note: Heat is transferred in form of collisions because heat increases speed of atoms. This speed when transferred to adjacent atoms by collisions, transfers the heat.
