Question

why are liquids and gases poor conductor of heat

Answer 1

hey there!!

$\underline{REASONS }$ Solids are  good conductors of heat while liquids &  gases are bad conductors. Molecules of liquids and gasestransfer heat by convection, i.e. their molecues carry the heat and move. They don't conduct. In solids the molecules are tightly packed and hence cannot move from place to place...

And Vibration energy of particles is less easily transmitted through a liquid and thereforeliquids are usually poorer conductors of heat.Gases are very poor conductors of heatbecause their particles are widely separated so that collisions do not occur frequently to enable efficient energy transfer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Their molecules are far apart to each other.

Explanation:

Matter is made up of molecules and they differ in how the molecules are arranged.In our case we say liquid and gases are poor conductors to heat compared to solids because of the different arrangement of the molecules in their matter.Solid have very intact molecules that are very close to each other,this make solid more faster to transfer heat from  one molecule to the other compared to liquid and gases.
