Kinetic Theory And Conduction Flashcards
1
Q
What is conduction of heat
A
The process where vibrating particles pass on their extra kinetic energy to neighbouring particles
2
Q
Conduction is faster in what type of solids and why
A
Denser solids because the particles are closer together so will collide more often
3
Q
Why are metals good conductors
A
Because of their free electrons
4
Q
What state of matter (solid, liquid or gas) does conduction mainly occur
A
Solids
