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.
sound
yes
Yes, a P-wave can travel through gas. P-waves are seismic waves that are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They compress and expand the material they travel through, which allows them to propagate through gases as well.
P-waves
Heat them.

Solids are better heat conductors than liquids because in solids, particles are closely packed together and can transfer heat more easily through vibrations. In liquids, particles are more spread out and move more freely, making it harder for heat to transfer effectively. Additionally, solids generally have higher thermal conductivity compared to liquids.
In general, liquids heat up faster than solids because molecules in liquids are able to move and transfer heat more freely than molecules in solids, which have a fixed structure. This allows heat to be distributed more evenly and raise the temperature of liquids more rapidly.
No. In solids
Solids ---heat---> Liquids ---more heat---> gases
Yes, sound can travel through solids and liquids. In solids, sound travels faster because the particles are closer together, allowing for quicker transmission of vibrations. In liquids, sound travels at a slower speed compared to solids, but still more efficiently than in gases.
S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D
heat
sound is made up of vibrations, and so you hear sound as the vibrations travel through the particles of solids liquids and gases.
