Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules. ... These vibrating molecules collide with their neighboring molecules, making them also vibrate faster. As these molecules collide, thermal energy is transferred via conduction to the rest of the pan.

How does metal conduction take place?

Conduction in metals

The ions are packed closely together and they vibrate continually. The hotter the metal, the more kinetic energy these vibrations have. This kinetic energy is transferred from hot parts of the metal to cooler parts by the free electrons.

In which form conduction takes place?

Conduction is the transfer of heat without the actual motion of molecules and it takes place only in solids.
