The type of solution that conducts electricity is called an electroylte. This is because ions are formed where there are positive and negative charges in the solution. Electricity can travel through the solution because of these ions. A non-electroylte solution does not contain ions and therefore has no way to trasmit electricity.
How well something conducts electricity depends on its charge and how freely the electrons can move in it, for example, electricity will typically ignore humans in order to flow to a metal because metal is a much better conductor due to the fact that electrons in metal are much less bound to their atoms than that of humans.
the more free electrons a molecule has the better it is as a conductor.
From my understanding, I would say that a solution need electrons movement to conduct electricity.
A solution will conduct electricity if there are free electrons or ions present in the solution. In the absence of free electrons or ions, the solution will not conduct.
AiR also conduct electricity,like wind power plant.Air has moisture which help it to generate electricity
Most ionic solids cannot conduct electricity in the solid phase. They only do so in the liquid phase. While they are solid, the ions in the ionic solid are fixed in their lattice so cannot move to conduct electricity whereas in the liquid phase, the ions are free and mobile and can act as charge carriers for electricity.
Most elements found on the left side of the staircase in the Periodic Table of the Elements, and those elements are called metals. Good examples of best conductors are copper (Cu), Iron, and Aluminum, while elements like Mercury cannot conduct electricity. The reason they can conduct electricity is because of metallic bonding.
This is a difficult question to answer. Water can only conduct electricity if it has dissolved minerals in it. While water from your household taps contains small amounts of dissolved minerals and will conduct electricity, pure water will not conduct electricity at all. The conductivity of wood depends greatly on the species of tree it is sourced from. Some trees have very conductive wood as a natural method of diffusing lightning strikes to reduce their damage. Generally, trees from regions with lots of storms will have wood that conducts electricity very well while trees from dryer regions will have less conductive wood. In general though, pure water is much worse of a conductor than even the least conductive woods.
that's because trees are made up of wood which does'nt conduct (transmit) electricity
Cesium Chloride can only conduct electricity in water or while molten. Once cesium chloride is in a solid state it will not conduct electricity.
AiR also conduct electricity,like wind power plant.Air has moisture which help it to generate electricity
Conductors conduct electricity because most of them are made of metals and metals are good conductors of electricity while insulators are made of rubber and rubber does not conduct electricity. To conduct electricity, the atoms that make up the material, have to have free electrons that can pass a charge on. Metals have these free electrons, whereas insulators do not.
The substances that do not conduct electricity are called electrical insulators while those which conduct electricity are called conductors.
One of two things is necessary for a substance to conduct electricity: 1.) Mobile ions 2.) Mobile electrons Ionic compounds will conduct electricity IN SOLUTION because ionic compounds dissociate in solution and move about freely, while molecular compounds do not offer mobile ions or electrons. Keep in mind this is only true in solutions. If you just try to run electricity through a brick of salt, it won't work out quite as well.
While there are many liquids that are known to conduct electricity, there are several that do not. These liquids that don't conduct electricity include milk, lava in its molten state, melting wax, and soda pop.

In an aqueous solution sodium chloride can in fact conduct electricity. This is because within an aqueous solution ions are free to move while as a solid NaCl will not conduct any electricity
Conductors conduct heat and electricity well because they have delocalised electrons in their structure. Insulators, on the other hand, do not have delocalised electrons and therefore do not conduct heat and electricity as a conductor, although they do conduct to some extent.
there is no element that can't conduct electricity, only elements that do it well and others that don't do it so well. Rubber is a very poor conductor of electricity, while copper, silver and gold are very good conductors.
Anything that is a bad conductor of electricity, while standing on top. Like Plastic.
