Why are liquids and gases such poor conductors of heat?

HEYAA FOLK,
Molecules of liquids and gases transfer heat by convection, i.e. their molecules carry the heat and move. They don't conduct.
In solids the molecules are tightly packed and hence cannot move from place to place. So they they transfer heat by conduction, in which the heat energy is transferred from one molecule to another without the actual movement of the molecules.
hope it helps you!!!

Answer:
Because in a solid the particles are compact, but in liquids and gases, the particles are further apart so it is harder for them to vibrate and collide with each other as they warm up. The particles need to collide with one another because the heated particles need to transfer their energy to other particles until the substance has completely heated and the energy has been transferred.
