yes.... the ions are broken up and are free to carry an electrical current
An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.
An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.
They have high melting and boiling points and can conduct electricity when they are molten or a liquid.
Ionic compounds can conduct electricity when in the liquid state or in solution in an ionizing solvent.
An ionic compound dissolved in water is an electrolyte and can conduct electricity.
As aluminium oxide is an ionic compound, it conducts electricity in molten state.
No, CaO (calcium oxide) is an ionic compound that does not conduct electricity in its solid form. It only conducts electricity when dissolved in water or melted to form a liquid state.
Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state because the ions are held in place and cannot move to carry a charge. However, they can conduct electricity when dissolved in a liquid or when melted, as the ions are free to move and carry the charge.
ionic compound
NaCl
Liquid KCl conduct electricity because it dissociates into K+ and Cl- ions in the solution. These free ions are able to carry electric current by facilitating the flow of charged particles.
Naphthalene is a Ionic Substance. Hence, Ionic substance do not conduct when solid. But they do conduct when melted or dissolved in water - and they decompose at the same time. Therefor molten Naphthalene conduts electricity as the ions become free to move when dissolved in water.
