Do simple molecular substances conduct electricity?
Most molecular substances do not conduct electricity since the ions don't dissociate very well with molecular substances. However, most ionic substances do conduct electricity very well due to their ability to dissociate very well in water.
Why is Electric weak to Ground?
Because the ground dosen't conduct electricity.
Does pyrite conduct electricity?
Yes, Pyrite can conduct electricity.
How metals conduct electricity?
Metals conduct electricity easily because the electrons in a metal crystal can move freely among the atoms.They are know as free electrons.
Does electricity flow through water?
Yes it does. pure H2O will not conduct electricity, however most water has some impurities in it, and will then conduct quite nicely.
Why do molecular compounds not conduct electricity?
do not break up into ions.
What are the properties of molecular compound?
Molecular compounds generally do not conduct electricity and have low melting points.
Molecular compounds that dissolve in water do not conduct electricity because no?
No mobile charged particles are present in sufficient concentration.
Why don't molecular compounds dissolved in water conduct electricity?
There are no ions present
Which is a property shares by most molecular compounds?
Most molecular compounds have a low melting point. They also typically don't conduct electricity.
What evidence is there ionic compounds exists as ions in their pure state while molecular compounds exist as molecules in their pure state?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity while molecular compounds do not
Why don't covalent molecular compounds conduct electricity?
Covalent substances do not conduct electricity because they are sharing electrons, hence they are in a fixed position and are not able to move around and contribute to movement of the electric current.
Which is a property shared by most molecular?
Most molecular compounds have a low melting point. They also typically don't conduct electricity.
Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity while moleculear compounds do not?
One of two things is necessary for a substance to conduct electricity: 1.) Mobile ions 2.) Mobile electrons Ionic compounds will conduct electricity IN SOLUTION because ionic compounds dissociate in solution and move about freely, while molecular compounds do not offer mobile ions or electrons. Keep in mind this is only true in solutions. If you just try to run electricity through a brick of salt, it won't work out quite as well.
Are covalent molecular compounds conductive?
No. You must have ions present or electrons so that they can carry the charge (conduct electricity).
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.
