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.
Does ionic compounds conduct in electricity?
Ionic compounds will not conduct electricity as solids, which is what they are at room temperature. However, they will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
Does mineral conduct electricity?
Many inorganic compounds conduct electricity.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as liquid or solid?
covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in any state.
What are ALL the materials that can conduct electricity?
Anything metallic can conduct electricity. Also molten ionic compounds and solutions of ionic compounds. Aqueous acids also conduct electricity.
Do ionic compounds form solutions that conduct electricity well?
That's right, solutions of ionic compounds do conduct electricity well.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity?
No. Covalent substances do not conduct electricity in solid or liquid state.
What type of compound ionic or covalent will conduct electricity and dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds generally dissolve in water dissociating to give ions that are free to move and conduct electricity. Molten ionic compounds also have free ions and conduct electricity. Ionic compounds generally do not conduct electricity in the solid form.
How do ionic compounds conduct?
Do_ionic_compounds_conduct_electricitycompounds conduct electricity when they are either dissolved in water of they are molten. If they remain a solid then they will not conduct electricity
Compounds that conduct electricity when in solution or in the molten state?
These compounds are called electrolytes.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as solids?
Generally not.
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.
