What are the two things metal can conduct?
All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.
Name two metals that do not conduct electricity?
Mercury and bismuth are two metals that do not conduct electricity. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature and bismuth has a high electrical resistance, which restricts its ability to conduct electricity effectively.
What are the two compounds which conduct electricity?
Soluble organic and inorganic salts
Do you have to be touching the ground directly to conduct electricity?
No. You could be standing on a metal ladder and get shocked.
What is the name for the metalloids that are conducters?
Metalloids that can conduct electricity are often referred to as semiconductors. Silicon and germanium are two commonly used semiconductors in electronic devices.
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.
Why should you not use the same type of metal to test conduct?
Because if the two metal touch each other they would not conduct electricity!
What are the two types of conductivity?
The two types of conductivity are electrical conductivity, which refers to the ability of a material to conduct electricity, and thermal conductivity, which refers to the ability of a material to conduct heat.
Why does solid sodium conduct electricity but solid sodium chloride does not?
Because sodium and sodium chloride are two different things. Even though sodium is in sodium chloride when you mix two elements you create a new compound.
Will a lemon conduct electricity?
Yes, lemons can conduct electricity due to the presence of citric acid and water which can act as an electrolyte. When two metal electrodes are inserted into the lemon, a small amount of electricity can flow between them.
What two things does a thunderstorm contain?
Electricity and energy.
Why does electricity and water not mix well?
Pure water (chemically H2O) is not a threat for electricity. HOWEVER, the minerals in most water conduct electricity. Mixing the two allows the water to conduct the electricity to you. Hence, bad.
