Why is thermal conductivity not affected to a significant extent by material density?

What will be an ideal response?


Thermal conductivity seems to not be strongly dependent on the material
density since thermal conductivity is an index of heat or energy transfer
between adjacent molecules and while the distance separating these molecules
is dependent on density, it is not strongly so.
