What is a substance that carries electricity under certain circumstances but not under other circumstances?
A substance that carries electricity under certain circumstances but not under others is called a semiconductor.
What two conditions do substances need to conduct electricity?
All it needs is some kind of metal in the substance.
Does oxygen conduct electricity?
oxygen does not conduct electricity because it is a gas that we breath in and a gas that we cannot see so it cannot conduct electricity.
Does deionized water conduct electricity?
No. A substance that does not contain ions will not be a conductor of electricity.
Why compound does not conduct electricity?
Any substance with free electrons (or free ions in aqueous solutions) can conduct electricity. It explains the fact that all metals conduct electricity well.
What is a substance that carries electricity under certain circumstances but not under other circumstances?
A substance that carries electricity under certain circumstances but not under others is called a semiconductor.
Semiconductors can conduct electricity under certain conditions?
Yes, it is true.
What has no definite shape volume and conducts electricity?
A substance that fits that description is a gas, such as hydrogen or oxygen. Gases have no definite shape or volume and can conduct electricity under certain conditions.
What two conditions do substances need to conduct electricity?
All it needs is some kind of metal in the substance.
A substance that will conduct electricity only under certain condition is called what?
semiconductors! SEMICONDUCTORS it will do it in some condition
Objects that conduct electricity poorly are?
Objects that conduct electricity poorly are called poor conductors of electricity or insulators . There is a difference though. Poor conductors of electricity are capable of conduction under certain circumstances while insulators cannot conduct electricity under any condition, example ; air is a poor conductor of electricity as it cannot conduct under normal conditions but lightning is able to pass through it during a storm.
Does oxygen conduct electricity?
oxygen does not conduct electricity because it is a gas that we breath in and a gas that we cannot see so it cannot conduct electricity.
What is an example of a substance that does not conduct electricity?
Rubber
What do you call a substance that doesn't conduct electricity?
Insulator
Does deionized water conduct electricity?
No. A substance that does not contain ions will not be a conductor of electricity.
If the substance dissolves in water but the solution does not conduct electricity is the substance an ionic compound?
No.
What is ferroelectric substance?
A substance which contains iron(Fe) and is able to conduct electricity.
