What form can an ionic compound cunduct electricly?

Ionic compounds can conduct electricity when in the liquid state or in solution in an ionizing solvent.


When can an ionic compound conduct electric current?

An ionic compound can conduct electric current when it is dissolved in water or molten (liquid) form, allowing the ions to move freely and carry charge. In solid form, ionic compounds are not conductive because the ions are held in a fixed position in the crystal lattice.


Do ionic bonds form electrolytes?

Yes, ionic bonds form electrolytes. When an ionic compound dissolves in a solvent, it breaks apart into positive and negative ions, which can conduct electricity. This is why ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when in solution.


How do you form an ionic compound?

Combination of a metal with a non metal will form an ionic compound.


In what form can a Ionic compound conduct electricty?

Ionic compounds can conduct electricity when they are in a molten state or dissolved in a solution. In these states, the ions are free to move and carry electric charge. Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are held in fixed positions within the crystal lattice.


Will iron and chlorine form a ionic compound?

Yes, iron and chlorine can form an ionic compound. When iron loses electrons to form Fe^3+ ions and chlorine gains electrons to form Cl^- ions, they can combine to form the ionic compound iron(III) chloride (FeCl3).


Why can't an ionic compound conduct electricity?

An ionic compound cannot conduct electricity only in solid state. It is so because conduction in an ionic compound is due to movement of ions. In the solid state the ions are unable to move, so they can't conduct electricity but in molten state they are free and hence conduct electricity in that state.


Is Cl ionic or compound?

it is found in the form of ionic.


Will CaO conduct electricity?

No, CaO (calcium oxide) is an ionic compound that does not conduct electricity in its solid form. It only conducts electricity when dissolved in water or melted to form a liquid state.


Does Chlorine and xenon form a ionic compound?

No, chlorine and xenon do not form an ionic compound. Xenon is a noble gas and does not readily form ionic bonds with other elements.


An unknown compound dissolves in water but the solution does not conduct electricity?

If a compound dissolves into water and allows for the conductance of electrical current its said to be ionic and an electrolyte. Sodium chloride (NaCl) or table salt exhibits this property. Sugar is a compound that will dissolve in water but not conduct current. Sugar is not an electrolyte or ionic; rather a covalent molecule.


Is CuS a ionic or molecular compound?

Copper(II) sulfide is an ionic compound.
