When you hold a metal coat hanger in a camp fire to roast a marshmallow, the coat hanger might become too hot to hold. Why might the coat hanger get too hot?

The heat radiates along the coat hanger.

The heat builds up near the flame until it can’t hold it anymore and then moves along the coat hanger.

Metal atoms vibrate with more energy when they get hot, and they collide with atoms near them, which causes the neighboring atoms to vibrate.

Since metals melt in fire, they react strongly to fire and get hot easily.
