Why do solutions ions compounds dissolve in water conduct an electric current?
Because these solutions contains electrically charged particles - ions.
In order to conduct an electric current a substance must contain a what?
It should contain some IONS, or charged particles.
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
because of the gravity or Magnetricity
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric currents in the liquid phase or when dissolved in the water but do not conduct electric currents in the solid phase?
because when the ions can move around freely, they can conduct electricity better
Can electric current pass through alcohol Explain?
Yes, alcohol is a liquid and has delocalised electrons which can carry the electrical current. Edited: Seriously? Unless there are impurities in the alcohol that are electrolytes, alcohol will NOT conduct an electric current. Alcohols are considered as NON ELECTROLYTES, as they do not ionize and thus will not conduct a current. (Dr.J.)
A substance will conduct an electric current if it?
A substance will conduct an electric current if it forms ions in solution. A solute that produces ions in solution is an Electrolyte. An Electrolytic Solution is a solution that conducts electricity.
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the liquid phase but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
Because ionic crystals contain ions which are arranged compactely by electrovalent force.in solutioon they become free ions because the solvent overcome their attractions so,they conduct electric current
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
because when the ions can move around freely, they can conduct electricity better
Why do ionic bonds allow for good conductivity?
Electric current is moving charges. Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electric current because the charged ions are locked into place. But if you dissolve an ionic compound in water or melt it, it can conduct electric current. This is because the ions are then free to move.
Why do solution containing acids conduct an electric current?
To conduct an electrical current, you need movable charges. In such solutions, those are available in the form of ions.
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the solid phase liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid plase?
In solid state the ions are packed very tightly, so ions are not free to move, therefore no conduction.
Why do ionics compounds dissolved in water conduct an electric current?
When an ionic compound dissolves in water there are free ions which move and carry electric current.
Do ionic compounds conduct an electric current in water?
Yes. the +ve and -ve ions move in the presence of an electric field.
Why do solutions ions compounds dissolve in water conduct an electric current?
Because these solutions contains electrically charged particles - ions.
Why does cesium bromide in an aqueous solution conduct electric current?
Cesium bromide is dissociated in water in ions.
Why doesn't water conduct electrical?
Usually you need ions in order to conduct an electric current and distilled water only contains a very minute ion concentration. Once ions are added, though it can conduct electricity.
Why is a melted ionic compound is a good conductor of electric current but a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor of electric current?
Upon melting, the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.
