Do substances which dissolve in water conduct an electric current?
Some do. Electrolytes, which are substances that break into ions when dissolved in water, will conduct electricity. Such substances include soluble salts, acids, and bases.Other water soluble substances are non electrolytes and do not break into ions in water, or at least do so in extremely minute amounts. They do not conduct electricity. These include alcohols, sugars, and some other polar compounds.
When a metal reacts with a nonmetal are the substances good conductors of electric current?
The product of a metal reacting with a nonmetal is a salt; in solid form these do not conduct electricity well, but dissolved in water they do.
Are cation soluble inorganic compounds whose ions will conduct an electric current in solutions?
The question is a mess!! All soluble inorganic ionic substances conduct. You are probably looking for the word electolyte, but that is any conducting substance, including organic.
Does brass conduct electricty?
yes, as all it's constituent substances can also conduct electricity
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
Substances that conduct an electric current under certain conditions are most likely to be?
metalloids
What are semiconducters?
semiconducters are substances that can conduct electricity under some conditions but not under other conditions
Semiconductors can conduct electricity under certain conditions?
Yes, it is true.
What is conductivity of milk?
The conductivity of the milk is defined by the substances in solution which can ionize and which therefore conduct an electric current.
A substance that will conduct electricity only under certain conditions?
semiconductors: other materials which conduct only under certain conditions
What two conditions do substances need to conduct electricity?
All it needs is some kind of metal in the substance.
Do substances which dissolve in water conduct an electric current?

Does oxygen conduct electricity?
oxygen does not conduct electricity because it is a gas that we breath in and a gas that we cannot see so it cannot conduct electricity.
What conditions is magnesium bromide able to conduct an electric current?
Being an ionic compound magnesium chloride is dissociated in solution.
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.
When ionic substances are dissolved in water do they conduct electricity?
Yes. Dissolving an ionic compound gives you ions in the water which are free to move in an electric field.
What is a electrcial conductor?
"A substance which allows electric current to pass through it is called a electric conductor". Or, "A substance which has free electrons is called electric conductor." There are some exceptions to these two statements: viz. diodes and triodes, which conduct under special conditions but not under all conditions.
