A substance will conduct an electric current if it forms ions in solution. A solute that produces ions in solution is an Electrolyte. An Electrolytic Solution is a solution that conducts electricity.

Does silicon conduct electric current?
no it has glue in it
When can an ionic compound conduct electric current?
when it solid
A substance is classified as an electrolyte because?
...its aqueous solution conducts an electric current This is because solutions of acids, bases, and salts are electrolytes and conduct electricity. AK
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the liquid phase but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
Because ionic crystals contain ions which are arranged compactely by electrovalent force.in solutioon they become free ions because the solvent overcome their attractions so,they conduct electric current
Which Substance When Dissolved in Water will Conduct an Electrical Current?
These are the ionic substances.
In order to conduct an electric current a substance must contain a what?
It should contain some IONS, or charged particles.
What is A substance that conducts an electric current in solution?
A substance that dissolves in solution to conduct an electrical current is an "electrolyte" or, less commonly, an "ionogen".
Does iodine conduct electric current?
no,
Why ionic sustances can conduct electricity?
An electric current needs free current carriers, i.e. charged particles. Those are available in an ionic substance (i.e., the ions carry the current).
What can conduct an electric current?
an ionic compound
Does water conduct an electric current?
Yes it does.
Can an ice cube conduct an electric current?
No
Does silicon conduct electric current?
no it has glue in it
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
because of the gravity or Magnetricity
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
because when the ions can move around freely, they can conduct electricity better
What is a electrcial conductor?
"A substance which allows electric current to pass through it is called a electric conductor". Or, "A substance which has free electrons is called electric conductor." There are some exceptions to these two statements: viz. diodes and triodes, which conduct under special conditions but not under all conditions.
Can electric current pass through alcohol Explain?
Yes, alcohol is a liquid and has delocalised electrons which can carry the electrical current. Edited: Seriously? Unless there are impurities in the alcohol that are electrolytes, alcohol will NOT conduct an electric current. Alcohols are considered as NON ELECTROLYTES, as they do not ionize and thus will not conduct a current. (Dr.J.)
