Best Answer

Ammonia is a gas.

Gases do conduct electricity, as all materials do. However, they conduct electricity so poorly that we consider them insulators.

"Electricity" requires the movement of electrons. In a gas, these electrons are too dispersed to provided any measurable current.

Why cant liquid ammonia conduct electricity unlike aqueous ammonia?

In liquid NH3 there are zero ions to 'transport' charge. In ammonia (NH3 solution in water) there are some (1%) positve NH4+ and negative OH- ions to do so.


Does ammonium nitrate conduct electricity?

Ammonia is a gas. Gases do conduct electricity, as all materials do. However, they conduct electricity so poorly that we consider them insulators. "Electricity" requires the movement of electrons. In a gas, these electrons are too dispersed to provided any measurable current. So it does conduct electricity and heat, however conducts them both very poorly ;')
