Metals generally exhibit good thermal conductivity.

When one end of the metal rod is held in the flame it absorbs thermal energy and becomes hot. Thermal energy is conducted quickly along the material (from hotter to cooler parts of the rod), and the other end eventually becomes hot.

This principal is used in cooling systems for electronics (for example) with heat sinks drawing thermal energy away from hot components in order to radiate it elsewhere.

What happens when a flame heats a metal?

When a flame heats a metal, the metal absorbs the heat energy and its temperature increases. As the metal gets hotter, its atoms vibrate more rapidly, eventually reaching a point where the metal starts to glow and emit light. Continued heating can cause the metal to melt or even ignite if the temperature is high enough.

When water is in a pan over a flame why does the water get hot?

When water is in a pan over a flame, the heat from the flame is transferred to the water through conduction. As the water molecules gain energy, they move faster, which causes the overall temperature of the water to increase. This process continues until the water reaches its boiling point and starts to evaporate.
