The particles in solids are very close together, and they are constantly vibrating but when they are heated they vibrate even more and quicker. so the heat is transferred from one particle to another faster than any other state.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity as liquids and in solution.
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.
Noand yes! In solids there are several Forms, what are they?Pure MetalsSaltsCovalent compoundsand etc,.Take in case of pure metals; they have free or extra electrons which they want to give away to attain more stability; these free electrons conducts electricity quicker in solid state than in liquid state.Eg: Fe, Cu, ET ALBut in the case of salts it is vice versa. in liquid or dissolved state the salts split in ions which have separate + & - charges to conduct electricity . they called electrolyte when dissolved in in a solvent.Eg: Nacl, Hcl, NaOH, NH4OH, etc.Covalent compounds either in solid or liquid state they don't conduct electricity.Eg: Fe2O3, CuO, O2, CO2, etc,.In common only Metals and Crystalline solids conduct electricity according to their conducting properties.
Most ionic solids cannot conduct electricity in the solid phase. They only do so in the liquid phase. While they are solid, the ions in the ionic solid are fixed in their lattice so cannot move to conduct electricity whereas in the liquid phase, the ions are free and mobile and can act as charge carriers for electricity.
Solids and liquids are both forms of matter with definite volumes. However, solids have a definite shape, while liquids take the shape of their container. Solids have particles tightly packed together, whereas liquids have particles that are more spread out and can move past each other.
because liquids and gasses don't conduct electricity
Yes, electricity can travel through solids and liquids as they contain charged particles that can conduct electricity. However, gases are poor conductors of electricity as they have fewer free-moving charged particles than solids and liquids.

covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in any state.
A plasma is an ionized gas ... thus its properties are those of a gas PLUS the fact that it can conduct electricity.
salts
Yes, solids generally conduct sound better than liquids and gases because the particles in solids are closer together, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently through them. In liquids and gases, the particles are more spread out, which hinders the transmission of sound waves.
no
No, covalent compounds do not conduct electricity as solids because the electrons are held tightly in the atoms and are not free to move and carry an electric charge. This is in contrast to ionic compounds, where the ions are free to move and conduct electricity when dissolved in water or when molten.
Because they conduct heat less efficiently than do liquids or solids.
