Why gases are bad conductor of electricity but good conductor at low atmosphere presure?

Conductivity is defined as the ability to allow the charged ions or electrons. In case of gases at normal pressure though ions are produced they cannot easily pass through the dense molecules present there. If the pressure is reduced to low value then there will be good room for the ions to go across and hence the conductivity increases.

Is argon a conductor of heat and electricity?
gases do not conduct heat or electricity well. metals conduct both well. but argon is a conductor.
What is the example of poor conductor of electricity?
plastics,woods,gases, poystyrene, and fabric. oh yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
Does argon gas conduct electricity and heat?
gases do not conduct heat or electricity well. metals conduct both well. but argon is a conductor
Is air a good conductor of electric charge?
Under some circumstances such as presences of the quantity of gases present in air some times air acts as good&bad conductor of electricity.
Examples of bad conductors of electricity?
Poor conductors of electricity include plastics, woods and gases, in other words, anything that is not a metal. Poor conductors of heat include foam, air and some fabrics, such as felt. Plastic for example is a poor conductor because it is an insulator. Plastic is made up of a substance that dose not allow the flow of electrons.

Does earth's atmosphere affect weather?
The atmosphere is the reason we HAVE weather. Without an atmosphere, there can be no weather. Example...the Moon.

Is gas a good conductor of electricity?
Air and other gases are usually good insulators but sometimes they can be good conductors

What are atmosphere gases?
atmosphere gases are made of air
How do you use windmill to control pollutions?
Windmills provide clean energy. They provide electricity without emitting harmful gases into the atmosphere.
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
What is the purpose of reducing greenhouse gases?
If we don't reduce the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere the earth will get warmer and warmer. Greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat. Whenever we burn fossil fuels, that is, for transport or to produce electricity, we are adding more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is what is causing global warming.
Is Fe a solid?
Yes, iron is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Most nonmetals are not good conductors of heat and electricity.
What is the emission of green house gases by consuming electricity and fuel?
Man produces about 0.28% of all green house gas and this is due to these activities. Most electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels. When these fuels are burnt, either for electricity or transport they release carbon dioxide which adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
