Ionic Compounds have poor conductivity when it is solid.
Ionic Compounds have great conductivity when it is either dissolved in water or is melted
poor
Good
Covalent compounds do not dissociate into ions.
No. Ionically bonded compounds have very poor conductivity as there are no free electrons
Covalent compounds do not dissociate into ions.
poor
There are free ions in the liquid state of ionic compound, hence the are good conductors of electricity.
Good
Usually, solid ionic compounds are weak conductors of electricity. Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds are good conductors though as they have free ions for conductivity. When table salt is dissolved, the solution conducts electricity well.
Unless an ionic compound is heated, until it melts or is mixed with water it is a poor conductor. This is because the ions are trapped in a structured matrix. In a heated liquid form or as ions in a water-based solution they are free to conduct electricity.
Covalent compounds do not dissociate into ions.
No. Ionically bonded compounds have very poor conductivity as there are no free electrons
Covalent compounds do not dissociate into ions.
Molecular compounds are composed of neutral molecules, their electrical conductivity is generally quite poor, whether in the solid or liquid state.
low melting point. ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. They conduct electricty in solution or in molten state unlike covalent compounds and carbon compounds which are poor conductors of electricity .
covalent and molecular
Covalent compounds are neutral. Covalent compounds share electrons. apex:)
