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
How does conduction work in non metals?
im trying to do my science homework about conduction and i know how it works in metals but why and how does it not work in non-metals
Does conduction works best in liquids?
no it works less because liquid molecues are little bit far apart.
Why does conduction work best in solids?
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.
What type of earthquake wave can go through solids and liquids?
P-waves can pass through liquids,solids,and gases. A P-wave is a type of body wave that has an up and down motion. Another type of body wave is the S-wave. S-waves CAN'T pass through liquids but they can pass through solids and gases. I hope that answered your question. =)
Which state of matter does conduction work the best?
Conduction works best with a solid.
Works with precious metals and stones?
A jeweler works with precious metals and stones.
How is heat transferred between two materials in conduction?
The particles vibrate and cause the particles next to it to vibrate and so on until the vibrations transfer to the next material. This works better in solids because the particles are more tightly packed.
What branch of science works with metals?
The branch of science works with metals is called Metallurgy.
A thermometer works on the principle that a rise in temperature causes?
A rise in temp causes the expansion of the mercury or alcohol present in the tube.The graduation is done in such a way that the amount of expansion gives the temp.
Would conduction work well in a gas?
Conduction works quite well in the gas inside a fluorescent light tube.
What is convection and conduction and what is the difference?
Convection is heat flow by means of moving matter. It only works in fluids (i.e. liquids and gases). Conduction is heat flow by means of direct physical contact. Radiation is heat flow by means of electromagnetic waves. It can work through a vacuum. Heat always naturally flows from something "hot" to something "cold". This is a form of entropy.
