Question

14. Most solids are good conductors of energy because their molecules...Select one:a. are close together and can easily transfer energy.b. are usually far apart and must transfer energy by convection.c. move slow so they make contact long enough to transfer energy. d. none of the above.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) are close together and can easily transfer energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that:

• Molecules of a solid are strongly attached to each other and are tightly bound

,

• The electrons of the solids are delocalized, and are able to move freely

,

• The presence of the free moving electrons due to closeness of the molecules is responsible for the good conduction of solids

Most solids are good conductors of energy because their molecules are close together and can easily transfer energy
