Which compound conducts electricity only in the molten state?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity only in the molten state because the ions are free to move and carry electric charge. When an ionic compound is in a solid state, the ions are locked in place and cannot conduct electricity.
Why does sodium bromide conducts electricity in the molten state Yes or no?
Yes, sodium bromide conducts electricity in the molten state because the ions are free to move and carry electric charge.
Why potassium chloride conducts electricity when molten but noy when solid?
Potassium chloride conducts electricity when molten because the ions are free to move and carry electric charge. In the solid state, the ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move freely to conduct electricity.
Does aluminum oxide conduct in liquid form?
As aluminium oxide is an ionic compound, it conducts electricity in molten state.
Why sodium chloride will conduct electricity when molten?
Sodium chloride conducts electricity when molten because the ions in the molten state are free to move and carry electric charge through the substance. In the solid state, the ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move to conduct electricity.
Does solid lithium bromide conduct electricity?
no. it is an ionic compound which does not conduct electricity as the ions are not free to move around. however when they are in molten or aqueous state, they are able to conduct electricty as the ions disssociate and then will be free to move about freely.
Does SCl2 conduct electricity?
no because its a covalent compound, it undergoes covalent bonding. if it was a metallic or ionic then it would conduct when molten or in aqueous state. the only element that undergoes a covalent bonding and conducts electricity is graphite, no other element or allotrope conducts.
Why does NaCl conduct when molten but not when solid?
NaCl conducts electricity when molten because the ions are free to move and carry an electric current. In the solid state, the ions are locked in a fixed position and cannot move to conduct electricity.
What is the conductivity of AlCl3?
Aluminum chloride, represented by molecular formula AlCl3, is a compound of aluminum and chlorine. An aqueous solution of aluminum chloride conducts electricity fairly well, but this is not currently reliably quantified.
Can ethanoic acid conduct electricity in molten state?
I didn't know electricity had a molten state...
Does sodium Bromide conduct electricity in liquid state?
after heating Lead Bromide, it becomes a molten which conducts electricity. so the answer is yes it does. lead bromide's an ionic bond. so, compared to the structure of an ionic bond, lead bromide does conduct electricity when molten. When molten or in an aqueous state, the ions become free to move and so it can carry electric charge around as well.
A compound that does not conduct an electric current in aqueous soltion or in molten state?
A covalent compound with no free ions, such as nonpolar molecules like oil or sugar, would not conduct electricity in aqueous solution or in the molten state. Ionic compounds like table salt or potassium chloride, which dissociate into ions in solution or molten form, can conduct electricity due to the presence of free ions.
