hello,
all gases are insulators, so if you look at the Periodic Table on the gas section you would realsile none are solids and none are liquids so they can definatley not be conductors. ooops i was almost going to spell condom hahaha
for your information a condom is a very nice tasting rubber thing which should be put on a dick for sex :)
AnswerIf the moron who provided the original answer gave some thought to the question, instead of being obsessed with condoms, he would realise that some gases are indeed conductors -otherwise fluorescent tubes and neon tubes wouldn't work, would they? But to answer the question, a gas widely used to insulate high-voltage substation equipment is SF6: sulfur hexafluoride.

What are some examples of how gases are different from liquids and solids?
I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .
Why are liquids denser than gas?
The difference between stages of matter have to do with how they are bonded. Solids are interlocked and crystalized. Liquids are loosely bonded and connected. Gases are in fact, not connected. Instead, they are loosely bonded atoms or molecules, made up mostly of space between them. This space is what makes the density of gas incredibly les than that of liquids.
Why solids are better heat conductors than gases?
Solids are better conductors due to the close formation of the atoms to one another allowing energy to be more easily transferred between electrons, where as liquids have more space between atoms causing energy to be transferred less effectively
How fast do things spread out in liquids compared to gases?
Gases spread out faster than liquids, and liquids spread out faster than solids. Gases, liquids, and solids are the three main phases of matter. A material moves to a different phase if its kinetic energy is changed enough (Kinetic energy is a measure of heat or temperature). For example, if you heat an ice cube (solid water), it will melt into water (liquid water). Gases have the highest kinetic energy. The molecules inside a gas are the fastest moving of the three phases. That means gas will spread out the fastest. Kinetic energy: Gas ---> Liquid ---> Solid [Decreasing] Solid ---> Liquid ---> Gas [Increasing]
Which state of matter cannot be compressed?
Solids and liquids are difficult compress. Gases, however, are easy; they respond to changes in temperature and volume.
Why are liquids better than gases?
Liquids are not better than gases; this depends only on the desired applications.
Are solids better conductors than liquids and gases?
particle density
Why do liquids conduct heat better than gases?
Liquids conduct heat better than gases because they are more dense; heat is conducted on a molecular level, so if you have more molecules per cubic centimeter, you will have more heat conduction.
Why is conduction slower in gases than liquids and solids?
Solids are better conductors than liquids so they solid is faster than a lquid also because since it is a better conductor is molecules move faster heating the object
What makes up solids liquids and gases?
Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases
Is gases hotter than liquids?
Not necessarily. Both liquids and gases can exist over a wide range of temperatures.
Is a solid denser than gases and liquids?
Generally solids are denser than gas and liquids.
Why is the rate of diffusion of gases more rapid than that of liquids?
Gases diffuse faster than liquids because the intermolecular forces holding gases together are significantly weaker than those holding liquids together. This allows the molecules of the gas to move faster than those of a liquid.
Why is fluidity higher in gases than liquids?
gases have less force of attraction and more space between the moleculesas compare to 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.
Why is it easier to find solids and liquids than gases?
Humans are more use to engaging and thinking about solids than liquids or gases. They are easier to find because they are what we are looking for.
Why are wearing safety goggles important when doing than experiment with gases or liquids?
Safety goggles are important to wear when doing an experiment with gases or strong liquids because if you have goggles on, the strong liquids or gases won't get into your eyes.
