Touching a hot iron: conduction, radiation, or convection?

Conduction is heat transfer between two objects that are touching each other.

METAL: found in periodic table, lithium, shiny, lose electrons easily, good conductor, elements

NONMETAL: brittle, ductile, semimetals, found in periodic table, often gain electrons, semiconductors, carbon, shiny, poor conductor, elements

METALLOID: solid, non- ductile, malleable, found in periodic table, silicon, shiny, can be liquids, elements
