They break into ions that can move freely.
so it false

What type of compound ionic or covalent will conduct electricity and dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds generally dissolve in water dissociating to give ions that are free to move and conduct electricity. Molten ionic compounds also have free ions and conduct electricity. Ionic compounds generally do not conduct electricity in the solid form.
Ionic compounds that dissolve in water conduct electricity because they break into gases that move freely.?
False.
In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Why ionic compound do not conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when solid because the ions are held in place by a lattice structure which means they are not free to move to conduct. However when molten or dissolved ionic compounds do conduct electricity because the ions are free to move.
Does ionic compounds conduct in electricity?
Ionic compounds will not conduct electricity as solids, which is what they are at room temperature. However, they will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
What type of compound ionic or covalent will conduct electricity and dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds generally dissolve in water dissociating to give ions that are free to move and conduct electricity. Molten ionic compounds also have free ions and conduct electricity. Ionic compounds generally do not conduct electricity in the solid form.
Ionic compounds that dissolve in water conduct electricity because they break into gases that move freely.?
False.
Do ionic compounds dissolve to form solutions that conduct electricity?
Yes
Molecular compounds that dissolve in water do not conduct electricity because no?
No mobile charged particles are present in sufficient concentration.
What conducts electricity when dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Why ionic compound do not conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when solid because the ions are held in place by a lattice structure which means they are not free to move to conduct. However when molten or dissolved ionic compounds do conduct electricity because the ions are free to move.
Why electrovalent compounds conduct electricity?
Because of the presence of ions
Does ionic compounds conduct in electricity?
Ionic compounds will not conduct electricity as solids, which is what they are at room temperature. However, they will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
Molecular compounds do not conduct electricity because they?
do not break up into ions.
Does mineral conduct electricity?
Many inorganic compounds conduct electricity.
Do ionic compounds conduct electricity well when dissolved in water?
Yes because ionic compounds are a combination of a metal and a non-metal, and as you might know, metals are good conductors of electricity.And yes, they conduct electricity well when dissolved in water, providing that is able to dissolve in water (aqueous).
