- Synopsis
- This diagram shows the difference between the transfer of energy in a metal and a non-metal. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Each of the two images is surrounded by a dashed line image border. There is a key to the symbols used at the bottom of the page. The particles have lines around them that represent the vibration of the particles. The image at the top of the page is labelled 'a', it shows the particles in a metal. The metal contains free electrons that spread out and collide with other free electrons and ions in the cooler parts of the metal. The image at the bottom of the page is labelled 'b', it shows the particles in a non-metallic solid. All the electrons are held in the atoms. Energy transfer takes place when the atoms vibrate and shake each other.
