How do you go through solids liquids and gases?

conduction goes through all three objects convection goes through liquids and gases and.. radiation goes through Solid,liquid,gases&space


What is heat transfer by convection possible only in liquids and gases?

Because convection occurs by convection currents. Convection currents occur as a result of the movement of a body. Since solids cant move, convection only occurs in fluid, i.e., liquids and gases


Is a solid liquid or gas sread by conduction?

Conduction is a form of heat transfer. The other forms are radiation and convection. Conduction is the normal way for heat to spread throughout a solid object. Convection is the normal way for gases and liquids.


What canonly liquids and gases do what soilds can not?

Only liquids and gases can flow, a solid object can not flow.


What happens to solid liquids and gases when they are heated?

Solids ---heat---> Liquids ---more heat---> gases


Why solid are preferred in conduction over liquid and gases?

A liquid or gas will also conduct. However, in gases or liquids, the analysis becomes more complicated, because there is not only conduction, but also the possibility of convection.


What are the 3 phases of matter?

solid, liquids, and gases


When you heat water in a pan by which mode does most of the heat travel in water conduction convection or radiation?

Convection I think - the pan will conduct the heat, as it is a solid, but mostly in liquids and gases this doestn work as well as the particles are further away so convection is normally how it is heated.


How does pressure affect the solubility of gases in liquids?

Increasing the pressure, the solubility of gases in liquids is increased.


What is the rank of solids liquids and gases in order of particle speed from the highest speed to the lowest speed?

I think it would be Gas Liquid Solid


What is the order of least to most with solid liquids and gases?

solid, liquid then gas


Can a solution be a solid a gas and a liquid or is it just liquids and gases or just liquids only?

A solution can be a solid, liquid, & gas.
