Is sodium hydroxide a conductor of electricity?

yes. Salt water can conduct electricity. It can also be a battery but not a very sustainable one.


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 ;')


How do Bases conduct electrictricity?

A base, by definition, is going to add hydroxide ions to the solution, and will necessarily also add some other, positively charged ions to balance the negatively charged hydroxide ions, and all these ions have the capacity to conduct electricity.


Does potassium that is dissolved in water conduct electricity?

Yes. Potassium metal when it reacts with water forms potassium hydroxide which is ionic and therefore conducts electricity. the vast majority of potassium salts are soluble and these conduct as they are ionic.


What substances will conduct electric current aluminum foil sugar or potassium hydroxide dissolved in water?

KOH is an ionic substance. The bond between the K and the polyatomic ion hydroxide (OH) is formed by the transfer of electrons. In solution ions (charged atoms) will form. The ions facilitate the conduction of electricity.


What kind of particles allow the sodium oxide solution to conduct electricity?

When sodium oxide Na2O is added to water it is converted into sodium hydroxide immediately Na2O + H2O = 2NaOH , the ions Na+ and OH- in aqueous solution are responsible to conduct the electricity.
