Which of the following objects conducts heat the best? A. the gas in a hot air balloon B. hot soup C. There is no difference in the heat conduction of these items. D. a metal spoon

i think its c,but i am not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would say D. metal conducts heat best, now why is that? well in metal atoms are stacked near eachother and can transfer that heat fast from one atom to another, soup is a liquid and atoms are more far apart so it takes them more to transfer that heat, and in gas atoms are farthest apart and they need even more to transfer that heat
