Consider two different rods. the greatest thermal conductivity will be in the rod with:
a. electrons that are freer to move from atom to atom.
b. the greater specific heat.
c. the greater cross-sectional area.
d. the greater length.

Options A and D are correct

Explanation:

The thermal conductivity of a metal is the property of a metal to allow heat flow through it. conductivity is higher in conductors and low in insulators. Thermal conductivity is high in metals due to the metallic bonds that exist in metals and the presence of free electrons within the metal which allow easy flow of heat from one atom to another.From the problem the rod which contains freer electrons will allow more heat to flow easily hence have a higher thermal conductivity.

Thermal conductivity has the formula below;

From the above equation we can see that thermal conductivity is inversely proportional to A and directly proportional to L. This mean the rod with less area will have a higher thermal conductivity and the rod with a higher length will have higher k. Hence option C i wrong and option D is correct.

For specific heat, its very much different from thermal conductivity. Specific heat is the ability of a material to hold heat while thermal conductivity is the ability of heat to flow through a material.

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
