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 is the process where heat is transferred through direct contact of molecules, as they collide and transfer kinetic energy from one to another.
