Heat up fastest in term of reach melting point and boiling point we would have competition between Potassium and Mercury. While potassium might heats fastest to boiling point of 257oC but it melts at 72.5oC where mercury was readily in liquid state at room temperature.

But for a real heat up fast, none would go faster than Thorium for its' lowest heat capacity of 0.113 J/mol.oC. Imagine heating a pot of water to the boiling point in 10 minute, It would took roughly 8 second for Thorium to go from the room temperature to 100 oC.

Which metal gets hot fastest?

If you are asking about which metal conducts heat the best(and subsequently gets hotter the fastest), then that would be elemental silver. However, because of cost, silver is usually replaced by copper as the heat-conducting metal of choice in modern day society.


When a piece of metal heats up and glows it gives off light waves and what?

When a piece of metal heats up and glows, it emits light waves due to the increased kinetic energy of its atoms. This phenomenon is known as incandescence. The color of the light emitted depends on the temperature of the metal.


How a hot-water radiator heats a rooms air. Include in your answer the way heat moves from the metal radiator to the room.?

A hot-water radiator heats a room by transferring heat from the hot water flowing through the radiator to the metal surface of the radiator. The metal then radiates this heat into the surrounding air in the room through a combination of conduction and convection. As the air near the radiator heats up, it rises, creating a natural circulation of warm air in the room.


What color heats fastest?

The color black heats the fastest, as (according to Proff. Planck) it is the color which absorbs the most Heat energy.


A metel ball is barely able to pass through a metal ring when annette zetterberg heats the ball it does not pass through the ring what happens if she instead heats the ring?

Heating the ring will cause it to expand, increasing the size of the ring's opening. This will make it easier for the metal ball to pass through the ring after it has been heated.

What material will boil water the fastest?

The material that will boil water the fastest is metal. Metal is an excellent conductor of heat and will heat the water up quickly.


Which heats up faster sand or metal?

Metal heats up faster than sand because metal has a higher thermal conductivity, meaning it can transfer heat more quickly than sand. Sand has a lower thermal conductivity, which slows down the rate at which it heats up.
