Question

"How does sodium conduct thermal energy?"

Need explanation. Cannot seem to find on google.

Answer 1

sodium metal demonstrates metallic bonding when it is in solid state. This means there is a 'sea of de localized electrons' that hold many positive ions in a lattice together. This sea of electrons are free to move around. When a potential difference is applied to the ends of the metal , the negative electrons are repelled away from the negative terminal and attracted to the positive terminal - thus allowing a current to flow.

Answer 2

Ciao,
sodium metal has alot of delocalised electrons.or free electrons.they move around in the metal .when energy is provided to one end they carry that energy and transfers it to the other side in this way they conduct energy.
hope it helps .stay blessed
