What else can I help you with?
Is salt a conductor?
Sodium chloride is an electrical conductor only in solution or when is melted.
How do electrons help the salt be a better conductor of electricity?
Salt in water solution or melted salt are electrical conductors because they contain ions Na+ and Cl-.
What does table salt have to dissolved in to be able to conduct electricity?
Table salt does not absolutely have to be dissolved in any solvent to conduct electricity, because it will do so if melted. The solvent if present must be one in which the salt ionizes, with water being the most common example.
A white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it is dissolved in water Which type of bond does this salt contain?
The salt likely contains ionic bonds. In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions that are attracted to each other. This allows the salt to conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water due to the presence of free-moving ions.
Does saltconduct electricity?
In order to conduct electric current, salt has to be either dissolved in a liquid, or else melted in its own liquid form. A pile of dry salt out of the shaker won't do it.
Is salt an electrolyte or nonelectrolyte?
Salt is an electrolyte. When dissolved in water, it dissociates into ions which can conduct electricity.
Can calcium carbonate conduct electricity melted?
Yes, CaCO3 melt can conduct electricity - both via its cation (Ca2+) and its anion (CO3,2-). Note that this does not apply to the solid form of this ionic salt.
When are salts excellent condutors of electricity?
False. A salt solution is full of positive and negative ions making it a good conductor of electricity.
Can salt be burnt?
no but it can be melted
Why does salt not conduct electricity?
Salts in solid form will not conduct electricity as the ions cannot be in motion. However when salts are dissolved in aqueous medium (to form solution), they will conduct electricity. Also salts conduct electricity in molten (or fused) state.
Will melted butter conduct electricity?
no
Is salt a electrlyte?
Salt is an electrolyte in water solution or when is melted.
