Conduction occurs faster in solids because the atoms in solids are not moving.

Items that test for misconception RGM088 in this project (ASPECt) and key idea ()
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen	Select This Item for My Item Bank
RG006003	Conduction occurs more quickly in solids than in gases because the atoms that make up a gas are farther apart and thus do not interact as often.	18%
RG140002	Energy will be transferred primarily by convection through liquid water and by conduction through solid iron.	13%
