Why is heat transfer in liquid is more prominent than that in gases?
Answers
Answer:
Heat transfer occurs by three main mechanisms: conduction, where rigorously vibrating molecules transfer their energy to other molecules with lower energy; convection, in which the bulk movement of a fluid causes currents and eddies that promote mixing and the distribution of thermal energy.

The reason of heat transfer in liquid is more prominent than that in gases is
Explanation:
Heat requires a medium to flow continuously, of the three states of matter, heat is the most strongly affected in the solid and then flows into the liquid and then into the gases.
Because very little space is found in the middle of a solid molecule, there is a lot of interstitial force between it and hence there is absolutely no free space between their molecules on the other side.
At the same time, the space between the molecules of the fluid is more than the solid and the difference and force between them also seems to be much less than that of the solid and hence the molecules of the fluid have a fixed volume but not a definite form.
The intermolecular force between the molecules of gases is less than that of solid and liquid and more space is found in the middle of its particle, so they neither have a fixed volume nor any definite form.
The medium is mixed well between the molecules of liquids, so the transfer of heat is better in liquid than in gases.
