Question

Why is conduction not possible in the case of liquids and gases?

Answer 1

1. The process of transfer of heat energy without the actual flow of matter is known as conduction.
2. Or wan say conduction is the process of transfer of transmission of heat energy in solids without the actual movement of particles from their position.
3. Conduction is happening in solids because, in solids, particles are having very small interparticle space and they are not free to move.
4. In liquids and gases, the interparticle spaces are large as compared to that of solids, and particles are free to move, hence convection is possible in liquids and gases
