transferring

gy due to their free electrons that facilitate energy transfer. Why are gases generally poor conductors of thermal energy? Gases are poor conductors of thermal energy because their particles are spaced far apart, reducing the frequency of collisions needed for conduct

Section 2? Examples include a metal spoon heating up in a hot cup of coffee (conduction), warm air rising above a heater (convection), and the Sun’s heat reaching Earth through radiation. Related keywords: thermal conduction, heat transfer, thermal energy, conduction process
