Heat Transfer and Conductivity/Comparing conductivity of wood, steel and silver

Heat transfer occurs:

When a temperature difference exists between two objects or substances

Conductivity is:

A property of materials that determines how easily heat can be transferred through them

Materials with higher conductivity:

Transfer heat more quickly than those with lower conductivity

Why is wood a poor conductor of heat:

Due to its low density and porous structure

Steel is an alloy:

But its conductivity depends on the specific composition

Silver:

Excellent conductor of heat, with the highest conductivity among the three materials. _____’s atomic structure allows for efficient heat transfer

When wood, steel, and silver tools are placed in boiling water, the silver tool:

Will heat up the fastest due to its superior conductivity
