1) It's like an invisible conveyor.
2) When part of a liquid is heated up, it expands.
3) As it rises, it moves away the source of heat.
4) Conduction depends on electronic configuration.
5) Conduction is the transfer of internal energy.
6) In science, conduction means when energy moves from one place to another by touch.
7) Your body undergoes conduction.
Hope this helps!!!!

Conduction, transfer of heat or electricity through a substance, resulting from a difference in temperature between different parts of the substance, in the case of heat, or from a difference in electric potential, in the case of electricity. Since heat is energy associated with the motions of the particles making up the substance, it is transferred by such motions, shifting from regions of higher temperature, where the particles are more energetic, to regions of lower temperature. The rate of heat flow between two regions is proportional to the temperature difference between them and the heat conductivity of the substance. In solids, the molecules themselves are bound and contribute to conduction of heat mainly by vibrating against neighboring molecules; a more important mechanism, however, is the migration of energetic free electrons through the solid. Metals, which have a high free-electron density, are good conductors of heat, while nonmetals, such as wood or glass, have few free electrons and do not conduct as well. Especially poor conductors, such as asbestos, have been used as insulators to impede heat flow (see insulation). Liquids and gases have their molecules farther apart and are generally poor conductors of heat. Conduction of electricity consists of the flow of charges as a result of an electromotive force, or potential difference. The rate of flow, i.e., the electric current, is proportional to the potential difference and to the electrical conductivity of the substance, which in turn depends on the nature of the substance, its cross-sectional area, and its temperature. In solids, electric current consists of a flow of electrons; as in the case of heat conduction, metals are better conductors of electricity because of their greater free-electron density, while nonmetals, such as rubber, are poor conductors and may be used as electrical insulators, or dielectrics. Increasing the cross-sectional area of a given conductor will increase the current because more electrons will be available for conduction. Increasing the temperature will inhibit conduction in a metal because the increased thermal motions of the electrons will tend to interfere with their regular flow in an electric current; in a nonmetal, however, an increase in temperature improves conduction because it frees more electrons.

Why are group 1 elements more reactive than group 2 elements?
kaheart [24]
Less reactive than Group<span> I </span>elements<span>. The reasoning for this is because it is </span>more<span> difficult to lose two electrons compared to losing just </span>one<span> electron. They mostly React with water to form alkaline solutions. ...Now This is because the smaller an atom the closer the outer electrons are to the nucleus.</span>

Which of the following is true of group 6A?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: Includes sulfur and gain two electrons

Explanation:

Includes Chlorine  This option is wrong, Chlorine belongs to group VII.

Includes Sulfur  This option is true, Group VI includes Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, Tellurium.

Gain 2 electrons . This option is true, Elements in group VI have six valence electrons so they gain to electrons to become estable.

Tend to form +2 ions  This option is wrong, this elements form -2 ions

Have 5 valence electrons This option is wrong, this elements have 6 valence electrons.

Why is Dalton credited with proposing the first atomic theory if Democritus was talking about atoms almost 2,200 years earlier?
german
Democritus *suggested* the existence of the atom, that everything was made up of tiny particles, but wasn't really able to get more specific than that. Dalton also theorized that everything was made up of indivisible particles, but went further basing his theory on actual scientific principles, such as the Law of Conservation of Mass and the Law of Constant Composition. He also said that atoms weren't created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, just rearranged.  There's more to it than that, but basically, Dalton's theory was based more on science while Democritus' theory was too general to be useful in chemical situations.
