Heat transfer is the characteristic property of all metals except Mercury. When heat is supplied to one end of the metal rod, the atoms at the hot end will vibrate with more energy and this in turn will vibrate it's neighboring atom, like a falling domino effect and after some time the rod will become hot, uniformly.
==================
conduction in solids can also occur with movement of free electrons.

∙ 10y agoin a non-metal, the heat will travel up the metal by atoms. One atom will warm up and vibrate. This atom, while vibrating, will touch the next atom. This happens to all the atoms eventually.
In metals, the same thing happens, but there is more. There are free electrons in a metal so if a free electron touches a hot atom, it will become hot and fly around (inside) the metal hitting other atoms and warming them up. This is why metals are better conductors and are faster...because there are two methods of conduction of metals but just one for non-metals

∙ 9y agowell conduction is a way energy or heat can be moved from solids so it can't really be produced because it is a method.
The process of conduction takes place when heat moves from one object to another through direct contact.

What is the term for heat transfer of direct contact?
Conduction is the term for heat transfer because of direct contact.
By which mode of heat transfer heat is transferred in solids?
the process of transfer of heat energy in solids is known as conduction.. For more info-- the process of transfer of heat energy in liquids and gases is known as convection.. And the process of transfer of heat energy without any material medium is known as radiation..
What is the transfer of heat by contact called?
Conduction.
What is the major heat transfer mechanism within solids?
conduction
What is heat or electrical transfer by contact?
Conduction

Why does transfer of heat not place by conduction in fluids?
Wrong, transfer of heat by conduction does take place in fluids.
What type of energy transfer is the transfer of heat through matter by molecular activity?
Because of molecular vibration the heat transferred through a solid is called CONDUCTION
What is the transfer of heat by conduction?
Transfer of heat by conduction is when transfer of heat occurs through touch. Vibrating atoms come in contact with neighboring atoms transferring some of their energy (heat).
How are conduction and heat different?
Conduction is the transfer of electrons in an element while Heat is the effect caused due to the transfer of electrons .
What is the transfer of heat by contact called?
Conduction.
What method is heat transferred through a metal skewer?
Conduction is the way in which heat travels through solids
How does conduction transfer energy?
By heat
Is conduction a transfer of heat?
correct
What is the heat transfer of metal?
conduction
What heat transfer is where heat energy is transferred by particles to neighbouring particles?
That is called conduction.
