Convection can only occur in liquids and gases, it can't occur in solids. Because the particle theory explains that in order to have convection, the particles need to be able to bump and vibrate and move in a circular pattern.
yes, it can also occur in solids.

∙ 14y agoAssuming you mean electrical conduction.
For solids and liquids, it depends on the material:
Copper and Mercury conduct, sulphur and oil do not.
Gases generally do not - you have to either use very high voltages, or very low pressures and moderate voltages - 100 volts or so in a neon lamp.
For heat, it varies: hydrogen conducts heat so well that they use it to cool the large alternators ("generators") used in power stations.

∙ 13y agoyes because if you did this lab, but food coloring in a beaker while their is a flame on the for right, instert the food coloring on the far right and watch it rise when the food coloring reaches the flame. Gases can be transfered around like how a radiator works. it produces heat and it rises to the top and it goes to the other end of the room and come back down to the bottom and gets sucked back up in to the bottom and made hotter. Its easier with a picture

Gases can be squashed compressedbut solids cannot?
Flow. Gases and liquids can both modify their shapes.
What do solids liquids and gases have that are different?
Structure. Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have definite volume but indefinite shape. Gases have both indefinite shape and indefinite volume.
Are liquids fluid but gases not?
They're both fluids because they flow easily into air
How is humidity and convection connected?
By remembering the process of convection and convection current rainfall we can relate both. Land breeze and sea breeze are due to convection current and humidity also occur there due to this.
How are humidity and convection connection?
Humidity and convection are connected because they both use heat to manipulate and change what is around them that causes a form of a reaction to occur.
How is convection alike in liquids and gases?
Convection in alike in both liquids and gases as, in both of them, the heated molecules being lighter rise upwards and the cooler molecules take their place.
Why can both liquids and gases transfer heat by convection?
Because they both flow easily.
In what way are liquids and gases alike?
Liquids and Gases are both matter, and are not solids.
How are gases and liquids alike?
liquids and gases both have an Indefinite shape. nd some liquids turn into gases with heat.
Liquids and gases exert a buoyant force?
Both liquid and gas
Is gases hotter than liquids?
Not necessarily. Both liquids and gases can exist over a wide range of temperatures.
Gases can be squashed compressedbut solids cannot?
Flow. Gases and liquids can both modify their shapes.
How are gases liquids and gases different?
Though both can act as fluids liquids are a different and much cooler state of matter. Gases must first become liquids before they can become solids.
What properties is shared by solids liquids and gases?
Common properties of liquids and gases: (i) Both do not have a specific shape. (ii) Both are compressible. (iii) In both the states ,substances can flow. That is why they are called fluids.
What is the compressibility of a fluid?
What kind of fluid, liquid or gas? Gases are compressible, liquids pretty much are not. (And yes, both gases and liquids are fluids; the word "fluid" comes from the same root word that gives us "flow," which both gases and liquids are capable of doing.)
What is a property of both the solid state and the liquid state?
Both gases and liquids have an indefinite shape - they will take the shape of the container they are held in. The difference between gases and liquids is that liquids have a definite volume while a gas does not.
Are gases and liquids fluids?
A fluid is any substance that can flow. Since liquids and both flow, they are fluids.
