Question

1. what type of substances does conduction work best in? in other words what substances are good conductors?

Explanation:

The question is about heat or electrical conduction and good conductors, which falls under Physics (a subfield of Natural Science). Good conductors for heat/electricity are typically metals (due to free electrons) and also some ionic solutions (for electricity). Metals like copper, silver, aluminum have high conductivity as their atomic structure allows free electrons to move easily, facilitating conduction. For heat, metals conduct via electron movement and lattice vibrations. Ionic compounds in solution (electrolytes) conduct electricity as ions move. So substances with free charge carriers (electrons in metals, ions in electrolytes) are good conductors.

Answer:

Substances with free charge carriers (e.g., metals like copper, silver; ionic solutions) are good conductors. Metals (due to free electrons) and ionic electrolytes (due to mobile ions) allow conduction (heat or electrical) to work best.
