2.3.1 — Conduction

2.3.1 — Conduction

Core

  • 2.3.1.1 — Describe experiments to demonstrate the properties of good and bad thermal conductors

Supplement

  • 2.3.1.2 — Describe thermal conduction in solids in terms of lattice vibrations and free electrons in metals
  • 2.3.1.3 — Explain why conduction is poor in gases and most liquids in terms of particles
  • 2.3.1.4 — Know that many solids conduct thermal energy better than insulators but less well than good conductors
