use the particle modle of matter to explain why solid are generally better heat conductor than gases |
| Answer» CONDUCT heat better than liquids, which are in TURN better conductors than gases. The particles in a solid are most tightly BOND and their positions are more or less fixed relative to each other (Fig. 5a). The force between ADJACENT particles is strong, making heat transfer by collision the most efficient. | |
