Heat conduction occurs when one atom bumps into another atom, transferring heat energy.Electrical conduction occurs through the movement of charge carriers, which in a solid are usually electrons or holes.

How does conduction happen in a solid in simplest form?

Conduction in a solid occurs through direct contact between vibrating atoms and molecules transferring heat energy to neighboring particles. When one end of the solid is heated, the atoms gain energy and vibrate more, passing on this energy to adjacent particles, causing them to vibrate as well, and so on, resulting in the transfer of heat through the solid.


Is a solid liquid or gas sread by conduction?

Conduction is a form of heat transfer. The other forms are radiation and convection. Conduction is the normal way for heat to spread throughout a solid object. Convection is the normal way for gases and liquids.


What must be present for metamorphism to occur?

What happen for metamorphism to occur?

Which reaction would occur fater a cube of a solid or granules of a solid?

A granulated form of a substance will react quicker than the same solid in cube form, as there is more surface area exposed to the reagents when the solid is in granulated form.


Is a iron conduction convection or raidiation?

Iron conducts heat. When iron is heated, thermal energy is transferred through the material by the movement of electrons within the solid structure. This is known as conduction. Iron can also emit heat in the form of radiation at high temperatures, but conduction is the primary mode of heat transfer in solid iron materials.


When conduction occurs between two objects do the two objects need to be touching?

No, conduction can occur between objects without them needing to be in direct contact. Heat conduction can happen through a material medium or in the form of radiation, where energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves.


Is iodine a conductor?

No solid iodine does not conduct electricity.


Why won't ionic compounds conduct when they are in solid form?

In order for conduction to occur, there must be some free moving (delocalised) charged particle in the structure. When ionic compounds are solid, the positive and negative ions are held together in a giant lattice due to strong electrostatic forces. When ionic compounds are molten or in solution however, the ions can move, and therefore can conduct electricity
