It would be wrong to state that condution does not occur in liquids but yes the solids are better conductors because of the presence of more number of free electrons especially in the case of metals and also because of their crystal lattice structure.

∙ 13y agoThermal conduction occurs more rapidly in solid materials rather than in gasses because molecules in a solid are more tightly and closely bound to each other, and are therefore able to transfer molecular kinetic energy (heat) more quickly from molecule to molecule.

∙ 11y agoI'm not sure that it does occur more readily in the solid state. Solids cannot conduct heat by convection, thus what is left for heat transfer from one metal to another is conduction. Gas and liquid states can do both, conduction and convection.

∙ 9y agoConduction happens when fast moving (hot) particles collide with others next to them and share their energy. This happens easily with the close packed particles of a solid, but it's much more difficult in a gas where there are large spaces between the particles.
Convection can only happen in fluids, because the energy is carried by particles moving through the substance. In a solid, each particle has a fixed position in the structure.

How does heat through solid?
The process of conduction is how heat moves through solids. With solids, the heat energy is passed on by the atoms.
The direct transfer of molecular motion through solids?
The direct transfer of molecular motion through solids is called conduction
How does heat travel in solids and liquids?
a. condensation b. conduction c. convection d. radiation
What state of matter does conduction occur in?
All three, solid liquid and gas.
When 2 objects are in contact the hotter object will transfer heat to the cooler object by?
Through conduction. The atoms in the solids won't go anywhere, but will transfer their heat energy along.
What type of substances does conduction best work on?
Substances that are in form of solids offer the best conductivity compared to liquids and gases. The conduction may be sound, electricity or magnetism.
Dose conduction work in solids liquids or gases?
conduction take place in solids and gases
Does conduction work in some solids?
YES
Conduction best takes place in a?
solids
Does conduction work well in some solids?
YES
What is a type of heat transfer that occurs best with solids?
conduction
Is a type of heat transfer that occurs best with solids.?
conduction
Does conduction work best in gas?
No, conduction works via contact between molecules - as gas molecules are more spaced out from one another, they are less likely to come into contact than molecules in liquids or solids
Explain the three methods of heat transfer as they work to heat the earth and the earths atmosphere?
conduction in solids, the movement of heat in solids is sometimes called heat conduction but it can never be convectionconvection in liquids and gasesradiation
Which state of matter does conduction work the best?
Conduction works best with a solid.
What is the major heat transfer mechanism within solids?
conduction
How energy is transferred in solids?
By conduction
