This process happens in all solids when heated but is a slow process. This process is very much faster than conduction caused by just passing vibrations from atom to atom. Hence, conduction in ...

Conduction occurs in solids. Metals are good conductors ... colliding with ions as they go. An experiment can be used to investigate which metal is the best conductor of heat.
