Answer:

Best at conductioning heat- Solid

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for heat to conduct it has to pass from particle to particle.

A solid has particles closely compacted so the heat is able to tranfer quickly from particle to particle.

A liquid has isn't as compacted it actually has enough space to slide over each other

A gas has very far apart particles and takes heat longer to transfer from one particle to another.
