@All.

Thermal conductivity of liquids decreases with increasing temperature as the liquid expands and the molecules move apart. In the case of solids, because of lattice distortions, higher temperatures make it difficult for electrons to flow, hence the thermal conductivity of metals decreases.

When a liquid is heated, the molecules of the liquid move apart. Hence their mean free path increases. This results in reduced probability of collision of molecules. Therefore there is a reduction in thermal conductivity with increase in temperature for liquids.

Dhaval said:   6 years ago
As temperature increases, the randomness of molecular movements increases. This obstructs transport of heat through liquids. Thus, the thermal conductivity of liquids decreases with increase in temperature.

Thermal conductivity of liquid and gas decreases with temperature.
Only water is an exception in liquid.
For water thermal conductivity is increase with temperature.

Thermal conductivity of Gases & Liquids increases with-an increase in temperature.

And Thermal conductivity of Solids decreases with increase in temperature.

Correct answer is A.

Thermal conductivity of gases and liquids increases with increase in temperature. In solids K is decreases with increase in temperature.

Anand said:   9 years ago
Thermal conductivity of the gasses and liquids increases with the increase in temperature.

So, the Answer should be A.
