Question

Why does convection not occur in solids?

Answer 1

Because molecules have stiff bonds and cannot move freely as in gases and liquids.

Answer 2

convection requires a flow of material, and a solid cannot flow.

Answer 3

Convection does happen it is slower, less efficient, and longer lasting.

Answer 4

the particles in a solid are tightly bonded together and are not free to move so convection cannot occur. a solid must be heated to a liquid before the particles can move freely .
