Explain why air is not a good conductor of heat. Pakisagot nman po please..

Sagot :

air is a poor conductor of heat because its molecules are not continous contact with one another unlike solid. heat by conduction passes more quickly in a solid because the molecules vibrations immediately affect their neighbours. air molecules only transfer energy upon collision, and that collision time is too small for any significant energy transfer to occur. heat transfer in air is mainly due to its convection, which in general is less effecient than in conduction
