Because the force of attraction between the particles is not as strong as those in solids and the particles move freely about the liquid. Hence, when heat is passed through the liquid. It takes a longer time for the particles to collide with one another and passing the heat energy to the other particle.

What are some poor conductors of heat?

Poor conductors of heat are generally also poor conductors of electricity. These would include most gases, ceramics and man-made plastics. A vacuum will not conduct heat either.

Are liquids and gases 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.

Nonmetals in the solid state tend to be brittle and poor conductors of heat.


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.
