Question

What type of energy makes heat

transfer by conduction possible?
A. chemical
B. mechanical
C. kinetic

Answer 1

C. kinetic energy

On a microscopic scale, conduction occurs as rapidly moving or vibrating atoms and molecules interact with neighboring particles, transferring some of their kinetic energy.

Answer 2

Answer: C. kinetic

Explanation: On a microscopic scale, conduction occurs as rapidly moving or vibrating atoms and molecules interact with neighboring particles, transferring some of their kinetic energy. Heat is transferred by conduction when adjacent atoms vibrate against one another, or as electrons move from one atom to another.
