What characteristic is common to all electrolytes?

They are bonded by ionic bond. They are electricity conductor in molten state or aqueous solution.


Which of the following elements are commonly referred to as electrolytes in their iconic state is it carbon chlorine potassium or sodium?

chlorine


What is the ionic state of ferrous iron?

Ferrous iron typically exists as Fe2+ in its ionic state, meaning it has lost two electrons. This is why it is commonly referred to as Fe(II).


Why ionic compound are called good electrolytes?

Even insoluble ionic compounds such as CaCO 3 are electrolytes because they can conduct a current in the molten (melted) state.


Why can solid ionic compounds not be used as electrolytes?

they can't be used as electrolytes because the only way an ionic bond can conduct electricity is when you drop it in water. The water loosens up the space between the ions and allow them to glide which them allows them to conduct an electrical current.


What is an ionic condition?

Ionic condition refers to a state in which ions, or charged molecules, are present in a solution. This can impact various properties such as conductivity and solubility due to the interactions between the positively and negatively charged ions. Examples of ionic conditions include saltwater and solutions of electrolytes.


What type of molecules are the electrolytes?

Electrolytes are typically ions in solution, such as sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate ions. These ions are responsible for carrying electrical charges in the body and are essential for maintaining proper fluid balance and function of cells and tissues.


Physical state of matter?

Could be in solid state, liquid or gas or ionic state. This ionic state is also known to be plasma state.


Are ionic bonds strong in a liquid state?

Ionic bonds are stronger in a solid state compared to a liquid state. When an ionic compound melts and transitions to a liquid state, the intermolecular forces weaken, allowing the ions to move more freely. This results in a decrease in the strength of the ionic bonds.


What is it called when compounds that don't conduct an electric current is either aqueous solution or the molten state?

When compounds do not conduct an electric current in either aqueous solution or molten state, they are referred to as non-electrolytes. Non-electrolytes typically do not dissociate into ions in solution, which is necessary for electrical conductivity. Examples include sugar and alcohols, which remain as intact molecules rather than forming charged ions.


Why ionic crystals don't conduct electricity in the solid state?

In the solid state ionic crystals are not dissociated in ions.


In what conditions do ionic compounds conduct the best electricity?

Ionic compounds conduct electricity best when they are in a molten state or dissolved in a solution, as this allows the ions to move freely and carry electric current. In the solid state, ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are held rigidly in place and cannot move.
