What factors affect the rate of thermal energy transfer

Conservation efforts have been effective in "increasing the number of endangered species, reducing all the negative impacts of human activity, and preserving wildlife habitats".hope my answer has you : ) 

In any atom of any element, you will find protons and neutrons in the nucleus of any atom 

Answerthe half-reaction having the greatest tendency to occur at the anode:     i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻  ;   e = +0.53 v======oxidation occurs at the anode. we must therefore find the half-reaction with the greatest tendency to oxidize.the given values of e are reduction potentials (the form of the half-reactions are of reduction).the lower the reduction potential, the higher the potential to oxidize. the half-cell with the lowest reduction potential will have the greatest tendency to oxidize at the anode.the half-reaction having the greatest tendency must be    i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻    e = +0.53 vbecause its reduction potential is the lowest out of the three.

I'd say your answer would be the sides of a metal pan become hot when the pan is placed on the stove burner
