How are oxygen and
water molecules different
from argon and neon
molecules?

Argon is an element on the periodic table. It is a member of the noble gasses, meaning that it is a monoatomic pure gas. In other words, argon gas particles are simply pure single atoms of argon. ... Finally, water is a polyatomic molecule H2O composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

Explanation:

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
