Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The transfer of energy as heat caused by the collision of molecules is called
A
convection
B
conduction
C
contact
D
radiation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules. Conduction occurs more readily in solids and liquids, where the particles are closer together than in gases, where particles are further apart.

Detailed explanation-2: -Detailed Solution Convection is the mode of heat transfer that generally occurs between the solid surface and surrounding fluid associated with the macroscopic bulk motion of fluid transporting thermal energy. So the correct option is conduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Conduction is the transfer of heat energy from one substance to another or within a substance. Have you ever left a metal spoon in a pot of soup being heated on a stove? After a short time, the handle of the spoon will become hot. This is due to transfer of heat energy from molecule to molecule or from atom to atom.

Detailed explanation-5: -Conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy, and vibrate more. These molecules then bump into nearby particles and transfer some of their energy to them. This then continues and passes the energy from the hot end down to the colder end of the substance.
