0
Q
What is it?
A
Heat transfer using particles vibrating against eachother
1
Q
What can it occur in?
A
Only solids
2
Q
In what way can it happen is liquids or ages,
A
Using particle collisions
3
Q
The more dense a solid?
A
Better the conductor
4
Q
Conduction is the main mode of
A
Heat transfer in a solid
5
Q
Is the particles are closer together…
A
There is a higher rate of conduction
6
Q
How does conduction occur in solids?
A
The hotter particles vibrate more strongly (meaning more KE) and bang into cooler lower KE particles
