Question

What is conductors and insulators ? Why solid conduct heat better than liquids and gases?

Open in App
Solution

conductors are materials that transfer thermal energy easily. Thermal insulators are materials that do not transfer thermal energy easily.
The moving particles of a warm soild material can increase the heat energy of the particles in a cooler solid material by transferring it directly from one particle to the next. Since particles are closer together, solids conduct heat better than liquids or gases. Conduction moves heat through a material.
