Energy is transferred when one molecule collides with another.

The given answer before was wrong. The correct answer is when Energy is transferred when molecules absorb electomagnetic waves.

What is it called that allows heat to flow through matter?
u mean mater some material well it is called as " thermal conductor" or " thermal conduction medium".
How does a conduction convection cooker work?
conduction: It z da transfer of heat energy in SOLIDS.When a solid is heated, the atoms begin to vibrate with greater amplitude, in this way one atom transfers heat energy 2 its neighbouring atom. Hence heat is transferred 4m 1 end of the solid to the other end. In conduction, heat is transfered but the atoms do not leave their mean position.
Is milk insulator or conductor?
Milk is mostly water, so it can conduct electricity, though not so well as a metal does. If you mean thermal conduction, then liquids are usually poor conductors, but they can transfer heat by convection.

At what temperature will a block of metal feel neither hot nor cool when you touch it?
The principle behind this is called heat transfer. Heat transfer says that heat (or thermal energy) always transfers from high energy objects(hot) to a low energy objects(cold). If you touch a stove, what you feel is a large amount of thermal energy being transferred into you through your contact with the stove. The hotter the object, the more thermal energy will be transferred into you. The skin can only handle so much thermal energy, so eventually you'll get burned. On the opposite spectrum, if you touch an ice cube, you feel a cold sensation because thermal energy is transferred from your hand and into the ice cube. So what does this all mean? There is no transfer of cold, just transfer of heat. Heat gets transferred when the temperature of two objects are different and the two objects come into contact. Heat always transfers from higher temp to a colder temp. Your question is asking, how will I not feel hot or cold when touching a block of metal. That would only occur if the metal was the same temperature as you. In reality though, the entire process is very complex. Thermal energy may not be uniformly distributed in the object. Our bodies are not a constant temperature everywhere, it fluctuates from area to area. Our hands also have small sensors that get activated if heat gets transferred away and then there are other sensors that get activated if heat gets transferred into you.

What does it mean to conduct heat?
Heat conduction means that as heat is moved from one rock to another, it moves around in a circle, building up heat the longer it sits. It must be getting a continuous stream of energy, or it will end up cooling off. Or... Conduction takes place when heat is transferred that is a simple answer.
How is heat transferred through a radiator?
Convection, which is the transfer of heat by thermal currents in the air (or other medium)

What do you mean by conduction of heat?
the transfer of heat from one end of body to another end of body is called conduction of heat
What does it mean for heat to be transferred by convection?
Energy is transferred through moving currents of warmer air or liquid.
Why does CO2 make objects cold?
you mean the solid form of CO2?? Because heat is transferred to the dry ice from the other object, removing thermal energy and lowering its temperature.

What does conduction mean in weather terms?
Conduction is the transfer of heat from an area of warmer temperature to an area of colder temperature.
How are conduction and convection similar?
they are two modes of heat transfer and both mean heat transfer involving materials
