Why do ionic crystals conduct electric currents in the liquid phase or when dissolved in the water but do not conduct electric currents in the solid phase?
because when the ions can move around freely, they can conduct electricity better
Can charcoal conduct electric?
yes it sure can
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
Does dirty water conduct electric?
Yes. but not much
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 slate rock attracted to magnet?
will slate conduct eletricity
Is slate a insulater?
Yes, slate can be an insulator. Since slate is chiefly carbon based, and many forms of carbon act as a mild insulator, slate could have this property as well. Unfortunately, slate can also contain contaminants that might act as a conductor.
Does rubidium conduct electric?
it can conduct electricity and heat.
What slate is used?
Slate roofs were once very popular. Turkey calls are made from slate. Sinks have been made with slate. Patios, walkways, stones to sharpen knives, even tabletops have been made from slate. Slate is used in buildings, roofs for example, Slate tiles are often used for interior and exterior flooring, stairs etc, and because it is a good electrical insulator and fireproof, it was used to construct early 20th century electric switchboards and relay controls for large electric motors. Fine slate can also be used as a whetstone to hone knives.
