Metals are good thermal conductors – that is, when there is a temperature difference across their ends, they transfer
energy very efficiently from the higher temperature end to the lower temperature end. based on this, would you
expect a thermal conductor generally to have a low specific heat capacity (closer to sand) or a high specific heat
capacity (closer to water)?

a)low specific heat capacity
b)high specific heat capacity

A)Low specific heat capacity

Explanation:

Heat capacity measure what quantity of heat is necessary to increase 1 degree of temperature a unitary mass body of some material. Good thermal conductors need a low amount of heat to increase its temperature to a unit mass, so I would expect low heat capacity in thermal conductors like metals.

it is the second option.

the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. solids can turn into gasses through a process called sublimation. sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.
