Conduction occurs more easily between solids and liquids. This is because the particles in gases are A) further apart and move faster. B) closer together and move faster. C) further apart and move more slowly. D) closer together and move more slowly.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) further apart and move faster.

In gases, the particles are spaced further apart compared to solids and liquids, which results in fewer collisions between them. Even though gas particles move faster, the distance means that the efficiency of heat conduction is lower in gases compared to solids and liquids where particles are closer together.
