Thermal energy transfers in a solid state, due to convection, in metalic substances.
This is because the covalent bonds between the atoms are being broken and reformed again while the metal is experiencing stress. <em>covalent bonds store energy. </em>
Look at the periodic table the element next at the right of Cl is the Ar and the atomic mass is 39.948 is bigger than the Cl 35.45. All the elements after that has mases bigger than Cl.
They have different ratios of elements. Water is H20 and Hydrogen Peroxide is H202. The extra oxygen atom in hydrogen peroxide causes it to be structured and react differently.
