conduction, this means one atom vibrates and then knocks the atoms it is bound to much like the 'Mexican Wave'. heat will travel up a metal spoon from the end that is being heated to the otherside. simply heat causes the atoms to vibrate which knocks the atoms into the surrounding atoms and so on and so forth.

∙ 11y agoSolids are different ( insulators and conductors) but here they are any way
Conductors:
These usually have free electrons and these free electrons can travel between th atoms in the conductor and the free electrons eventually collide with the atoms and the atoms start to vibrate and the vibrations become so violent that it starts the conduct the heat.
Insulators:
These usually don't have free electrons and so the atoms in the insulator have to vibrate and this takes longer to conduct the heat and therefore it is an insulator.
Hope this helped.

How is energy transferred by solids liquids gases and vacuum?
Heat energy is transferred by conduction, convection and radiation. In a vacuum, heat energy can only be transferred by radiation.
Which type of heat transfer is most important in solids?
Heat is generally transferred in solids with the conduction mode.In conduction mode,heat is trasferred by lattice vibration.
How is heat transferred through liquids and solids?
By means of the atomic vibrations about their mean position.
Why can't heat be transferred by convection in solids?
Because the molecules of a solid do not move [much] from their location.
What method is heat transferred through a metal skewer?
Conduction is the way in which heat travels through solids

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..
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.
What is heat transferred in?
Radiation in heat transfer is one of three known modes of heat transfer: conduction (as heat transfer in solids and less effective in liquids)), Convection (as in liquids and gases), and radiation (that not necessarily require a medium for the transfer). Heat of sun is transferred to us in the vacuum space by radiation heat transfer.
What method is heat transferred through a metal skewer?
Conduction is the way in which heat travels through solids
How energy is transferred in solids?
By conduction
Explain difference between heat transfer mechanisms in solids liquids gases and combinations of substances in terms molecular motion bulk motion and surface properties in industrial processes?
In solids, heat is transferred by conduction, the movement (vibration) of molecules. Heat transfer from solids to liquids and gases takes place through convection, or the movement of fluids at the surface. Radiation heat transfer can occur without a medium.
What are three mechanisms by which heat is transferred through the earth's system?
convection (from the movement of fluids), conduction (through solids), and radiation (through air and space).
