Statement:- Conduction is the mode of transfer of heat.Transfer means both absorption and emission.When water is kept in a metal vessel,and metal vessel kept on the stove to heat it,then water in the metal vessel absorbs the heat from the metal vessel to raise the temperature.Here water molecules in that container absorbs heat from the molecules of metal vessel through conduction.Because metal cannot convect heat.Therefore water absorbs heat through conduction and transmits heat through convection. My View:- Therefore according to me ,water is a good conductor of heat for the mode of absorption and bad conductor of heat for the mode of emission. Question:- So, do you think my views are correct? if not suggest me with suggestions.
