4.1: Temperature is not the same as heat. Heat is energy in transfer. ... Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. Collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object.
