Which of these best describes heat transfer through conduction?

Question

Responses

A Heat transfer as electrons are excited in atoms.Heat transfer as electrons are excited in atoms.

B Heat transfer by the emission of pure energy waves.Heat transfer by the emission of pure energy waves.

C Heat transfer by a liquid or gas flowing over an object.Heat transfer by a liquid or gas flowing over an object.

D Heat transfer by molecules colliding with adjacent molecules

Answer 1

The best description of heat transfer through conduction is:

D Heat transfer by molecules colliding with adjacent molecules.

Conduction involves the transfer of heat through direct contact between molecules, where heat is transferred as these molecules collide and interact with each other.
