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.

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.

How many combinations of the three states of matter are there?

There are three basic states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. The number of combinations possible from these states is 3! (3 factorial), which equals 6. The six possible combinations are solid-liquid-gas, solid-gas-liquid, liquid-solid-gas, liquid-gas-solid, gas-solid-liquid, and gas-liquid-solid.

Can heat transfer by conduction happen between a gas and a solid?

Yes, heat transfer by conduction can occur between a gas and a solid. When a gas molecule collides with a solid surface, it transfers heat to the solid through direct contact and vibration of the solid's atoms. Heat conduction in this case is typically slower compared to conduction in solids or liquids due to the lower density of the gas.
