What solution conducts to electricity is called what?
A solution which can conduct electricity is known as an electrolyte.
Diamond is an insulator while graphite conducts electricity?
Diamond is considered the hardest mineral known to man, while graphite is one of the softest. Diamond is an excellent electrical insulator, while graphite is a good conductor of electricity. This is due to the way the carbon atoms are arranged in each mineral.
Which type of liquid is the best conductor of electricity?
waterWater is the best conductor, but not in its most pure form. Pure water or H2O does not conduct electricity well at all. But, many substances dissolve in water. In fact it is known as the "universal solvent". Because of this, water found in nature and in use is rarely pure and will conduct electricity rather well.So, it is the many dissolved compounds in water, not the water itself that conducts electricity well.But normally yes, water it the best liquid conductor.
Which oranelle is cellular repiration conducted?
In a cell, it is the mitochondria (also known as mitochondrion) that conducts cellular respiration.
Metals are known to?
metals are known to be a good conductor of heat and electricity.
What solution conducts to electricity is called what?
A solution which can conduct electricity is known as an electrolyte.
What does it mean when one substance is known to be a better conductor of heat than the other?
It can mean it will let electricity pass through it easier.
Diamond is an insulator while graphite conducts electricity?
Diamond is considered the hardest mineral known to man, while graphite is one of the softest. Diamond is an excellent electrical insulator, while graphite is a good conductor of electricity. This is due to the way the carbon atoms are arranged in each mineral.
What is electricity known as?
Electricity
What material will allow electricity to flow between the battery and the lightbulb?
Yes, copper wire is a conductive element and is the most addiquite substance for distribution of electricity known.
What does it mean when a substance boils at a higher temperature than water?
Very little. Boiling point depends on several factors, and they cannot be distinguished unless further information is known about the substance.
Characteristics of a diamond?
A cut and polished, commercial diamond is valued by its cut, clarity, carat weight and colour. A real diamond conducts electricity, is the hardest mineral known and comes in many natural colours, depending on what other trace minerals are present in the stone.

Why frictional electricity is known as static electricity?
Becuase static electricity is generated by rubbing or by friction.
What does it mean to be a conductor?
A good conductor is a substance that will easily carry loose ions, also known as electricity. Many metals are good conductors. Conductors have many modern applications. Any wire that carries an electrical current has to be a conductor of some sort. On the contrary, substances that do not conduct electricity are known as insulators. Rubber is a very common insulator.
Is electrolytes made of NaCl?
Any solution that conducts electricity is called an electrolyte; salt water, also known as an aqueous solution of NaCl, is a type of electrolyte, although certainly not the only type.
What is the hardest substance of all?
Diamonds are the hardest known substance
