Which are the worse conductors of heat liquids or gases?
Gases are generally worse conductors of heat compared to liquids. This is because gases have more space between their particles, leading to less interaction and slower heat transfer. Liquids have particles that are closer together, allowing heat to be transferred more efficiently.
Can gases and liquids carry heat by conduction?
Yes, gases and liquids can carry heat by conduction, although they are generally considered to be poor conductors compared to solids. In gases and liquids, heat is transferred through collisions between molecules and the flow of energy from higher temperature regions to lower temperature regions.
Why are gases the worst conductors of all?
Gases are poor conductors of heat and electricity because their particles are widely spaced and have weak intermolecular forces. This means that heat and electrons cannot be transferred efficiently between gas particles, resulting in low conductivity. Liquids and solids, with their closer particles and stronger intermolecular forces, are better conductors than gases.
What are the differences between a metal substance and a non-metal one?
Metals are good electrical and heat conductors. They are malleable, ductile, and generally solid at room temperature. Nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electricity. They form brittle solids and are nonductile. They are generally liquids or gases at room temperature.
Is a gas a good thermal heat conductor?
Yes, gases are generally poor thermal conductors compared to solids and liquids. This is because gases have low density and their particles are further apart, making it harder for heat to transfer through them by conduction. Heat transfer in gases primarily occurs through convection rather than conduction.
What happens to solid liquids and gases when they are heated?
Solids ---heat---> Liquids ---more heat---> gases
Is oxygen a good heat conductor?
Oxygen O2 is a gas. Gases conduct heat- although they wouldn't generally be considered to be good conductors.
Why are gases and liquids 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.

What when gases lose heat?
When gases lose heat they condensate into liquids.
Why are liquids and gases good insulators?
Liquids and gases are good insulators because their molecules are spaced farther apart compared to solids, reducing the transfer of heat energy through conduction. Furthermore, liquids and gases have low thermal conductivity, meaning they do not transfer heat as easily as solids. This makes them effective insulators against heat loss or gain.
Can conduction work in liquids?
Yes, conduction can work in liquids. Heat can be transferred through liquids by direct contact between the particles. However, liquids are not as good conductors of heat as solids because their particles are more free to move around, making the transfer of heat slower.
