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 to together, than in gases, where particles are further apart.

What are 3 examples of conduction?

Conduction: Touching a stove and being burned. Ice cooling down your hand. Boiling water by thrusting a red-hot piece of iron into it.

Can conduction occur in gases?

Conduction is the transfer of heat energy that occurs between two objects that are touching. Thus, conduction occurs between the particles of solids, liquids, and gases that collide into one another.
