What else can I help you with?
Which solids conduct electricity when they are dissolved?
salts
Do non metals conduct electricity and are often shiny solids?
no
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as solids?
No, covalent compounds do not conduct electricity as solids because the electrons are held tightly in the atoms and are not free to move and carry an electric charge. This is in contrast to ionic compounds, where the ions are free to move and conduct electricity when dissolved in water or when molten.
Can a sold conduct an electric current?
Solids can definitely conduct electricity -- like copper wires. It is a general property of metals.
What do you call the liquid which conduct electricity?
Electrolytes
Ionic solid conduct electricity?
Ionic solids do not conduct electricity in their solid state because their ions are not free to move and carry electric charge. However, when they are melted or dissolved in water, the ions become free to move and conduct electricity.
Why are ionic solids poor conductors or electricity?
Ionic solids are poor conductors of electricity because the ions in the solid are not free to move and carry an electric charge. In ionic solids, the positive and negative ions are locked into a rigid crystalline lattice and cannot move freely to conduct electricity. Only when the ionic solid is melted or dissolved in water do the ions become mobile and able to conduct electricity.
Does ionic compounds conduct in electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are dissolved in water or melted, allowing the ions to move and carry electric charge. Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are fixed in place and unable to move to carry charge.
Can eletricity travel through solids and liquids and gases?
Yes, electricity can travel through solids and liquids as they contain charged particles that can conduct electricity. However, gases are poor conductors of electricity as they have fewer free-moving charged particles than solids and liquids.
What do you call a substance that doesn't conduct electricity?
Insulator
Ionic solids bad conductors of electricity?
Ionic solids are generally bad conductors of electricity in their solid state because their ions are held in a fixed position by strong electrostatic forces. However, when ionic solids are melted or dissolved in water, they can conduct electricity due to the mobility of their ions.
Why do you deal electronics only with solids not with liquids and gases?
because liquids and gasses don't conduct electricity
