Some do. Electrolytes, which are substances that break into ions when dissolved in water, will conduct electricity. Such substances include soluble salts, acids, and bases.
Other water soluble substances are non electrolytes and do not break into ions in water, or at least do so in extremely minute amounts. They do not conduct electricity. These include alcohols, sugars, and some other polar compounds.
What else can I help you with?
What Substances that conduct an electric current under certain conditions are most likely to be?
Substances that conduct an electric current under certain conditions are most likely to be metals or solutions containing ions. Metals have free electrons that can move through the material, allowing for the flow of electric current. Ionic solutions contain ions that can move and carry charge, enabling them to conduct electricity.
Why do solutions ions compounds dissolve in water conduct an electric current?
Because these solutions contains electrically charged particles - ions.
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
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.)
Is paraffin an electrolyte?
Paraffin is not an electrolyte because it does not conduct electricity when dissolved in water or in its solid state. Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions in solution, allowing them to carry an electric current.
Which substances aluminum foil sugar or potassium hydroxide will conduct electric current dissolved in water?
Potassium hydroxide will conduct electric current when dissolved in water due to the presence of ions that allow the flow of electricity. Aluminum foil will not conduct electricity in water as it is a metal and does not dissolve into ions. Sugar is a non-electrolyte and will not conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
Substances that conduct an electric current under certain conditions are most likely to be?
metalloids
Does covalent substances conduct electricity in benzene?
Benzene is nonpolar and thus will only dissolve nonpolar substances. Covalent substances is vague, but even if benzene were to dissolve nonpolar solutes, they would not conduct electricity because the current has no ions or delocalized electrons to travel across.
What is conductivity of milk?
The conductivity of the milk is defined by the substances in solution which can ionize and which therefore conduct an electric current.
What Substances that conduct an electric current under certain conditions are most likely to be?
Substances that conduct an electric current under certain conditions are most likely to be metals or solutions containing ions. Metals have free electrons that can move through the material, allowing for the flow of electric current.

Why do solutions ions compounds dissolve in water conduct an electric current?
Because these solutions contains electrically charged particles - ions.
Does iodine conduct electric current?
no,
What do the substances that conduct electricity once they are dissolved have in common?
333
What can conduct an electric current?
an ionic compound
Does water conduct an electric current?
Yes it does.
What substances conducts electricity in an aqueous solution?
Substances that conduct electricity in an aqueous solution include salts, acids, and bases. These substances dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, allowing them to conduct electric current.
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
