Gases are the worse conductors of heat . This is because their particles are very spaced out and so can collide only infrequently.

Which substances can heat travel through by convection?
Fluids, aka liquids and gases.
How are gases and liquids alike?
liquids and gases both have an Indefinite shape. nd some liquids turn into gases with heat.
Are gases conductors?
No. Gases are not good conductors of electricity nor heat (compared to other states of matter.)
How can heat transfer in liquids and gases be reduced?
Insulation will reduce heat transfer.
What is the transfer of heat by the movement of fluids -liquids and gases?
Convection
Why are liquids and gases not good conductors of heat?
i have no earthly idea. I'm clueless
What happens to solid liquids and gases when they are heated?
Solids ---heat---> Liquids ---more heat---> gases

What when gases lose heat?
When gases lose heat they condensate into liquids.
Are gases conductors?
No. Gases are not good conductors of electricity nor heat (compared to other states of matter.)
What are the physical properties of nonmetals?
Poor conductors of heat and electricity.Brittle - if a solid.Nonductile.Do not possess metallic luster.Transparent as a thin sheet.Solids, liquids or gases at room temperature.
Are liquids and gases poor conductors of heat?
I had the same problem as you. Gases and Liquids are poor conductors of heat because they don't have many particales like a solid. If heat was one end of a solid it would slowly make the paricales vibrate in a few seconds, whereas in a liquid or gas it takes longer to make all the particles vibrate. A conductor consumes heat so a gas/liquid wouldn't hold much heat. I hope this helped.

When gases lose heat they into liquids?
When gasses lose heat they condense into liquids.
Do Solids usually conduct heat better then liquids and gases?
Solids do conduct heat better than gases, although not necessarily better than liquids. Some solids are actually composite materials, because they can have a porous structure which contains gas within the solid, and this results in solids that do not conduct heat very well. But it is the gas component which has this insulating property.
What is heat transferred by in liquids and gases?
convection
