Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is essential for conduction to allow energy to be transferred?
A
Must be made of metal
B
Must be touching
C
Must be wet
D
Must be a liquid or a gas
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Conduction is the transfer of energy from one molecule to another by direct contact. This transfer occurs when molecules hit against each other, similar to a game of pool where one moving ball strikes another, causing the second to move.

Detailed explanation-2: -For conduction to take place between two objects, they must be touching each other. For conduction to occur between atoms within the same object, they must also be touching (or nearly touching).

Detailed explanation-3: -When thermal energy is transferred between neighboring molecules that are in contact with one another, this is called conduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -The molecules of the substances must be touching. Both substances must be the same temperature. At least one substance must be a liquid. Most of the molecules must be slow moving.
