Answer 1

3. C: Jason’s right hand will be hotter because metal does a better job at conducting heat

Explanation

Each material has a characteristic rate at which heat will flow through it. The faster heat flows through a material, the more conductive it is

As metals have more number of electrons than wood they can conduct heat much more better than wood,The denser the material, the closer its atoms are together. That means the transfer of energy of one atom to the next is more effective. Thus the answer is

3. C: Jason’s right hand will be hotter because metal does a better job at conducting heat
