The heat is conducted from atom to atom using the kinetic energy of the particles, in other words by vibrating. The better the conductor, the more rapidly heat will transfer. Have you ever noticed that metal benches tend to feel colder than a wooden ones? Believe it or not, they are not colder! They only feel colder because they conduct heat away from your bottom better than wood and you perceive the heat that is leaving your bum as cold. Metals are particularly good at conducting heat because of their free electrons that move about the structure colliding with the positive ions and transferring the kinetic energy to them. Convection happens in gases and liquids. As a gas or a liquid is heated, it warms, expands, and rises because it is less dense. When the gas or liquid cools, it becomes denser and falls. As the gas or liquid warms and rises, or cools and falls, it creates a convection current, which is what transfers the heat from one place to another. For example when you turn on your radiator, despite the name the room is heated by convection, as the air is heated above the radiator, it expands, rises and the cooler, denser air sinks causing a convection current around the room.\n
