A solid that has a high melting point and conducts electricity in solution is a?
metaloid
A hard substance that has a high melting point and is a poor conductor of electricity in the solid phase could be?
It Could be Boron
The temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid is called the what?
Simply, the melting point. Think of an ice cube. The melting point is the temperature at which the ice cube MELTS into a liquid.
Do solids have a high or low melting point?
That depends on the solid: ice has a very low melting point, lard and butter have low melting points, chocolate has a relatively low melting point, wax has an intermediate melting point, lead has a high melting point, iron has a very high melting point, tungsten has an extremely high melting point.
What point on a phase diagram represents a melting point?
The phase line between solid and liquid represents the melting point.The line dividing solid from gas is the sublimation point.The line dividing liquid from gas is the boiling point.
A solid that has a high melting point and conducts electricity in solution is a?
metaloid
What substance has a melting point of 1074 K conducts electricity when dissolved in water but does not conduct electricity in the solid phase?
Sodium chloride fits this description. It has a melting point of 1074 K and conducts electricity when dissolved in water as it dissociates into sodium and chloride ions, but does not conduct electricity in the solid state because the ions are not free to move.
After performing a series of test on a unknown solid you determine that it has a high melting point it is relatively soft and it conducts electricity and heat quite well the solid is most likely?
metallic
What do you call the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid?
This is the melting point.
Which type of substance is soft has a low melting point and is poor pondutor of electricity?
Covalent solid
Soft low melting solid which is a good conductor of heat?
The metal lead. Solid at room temps, low melting point, good conductor of heat and electricity.
Properties of compounds with giant ionic structures?
Compounds with giant ionic structures have high melting and boiling points due to the strong electrostatic forces holding the ions together. They are usually hard and brittle solids. These compounds are good conductors of electricity when molten or in aqueous solution, but not as solids.
How does a contaminant affect the melting point of a solid?
A contaminant reduces the melting point of a solid.
Compared with ionic compounds solid molecular compounds generally?
have lower melting and boiling points, exist as discrete molecules, and do not conduct electricity in the solid state.
What is almost solid at room temperature and conducts electricity?
Graphite is almost solid at room temperature and conducts electricity due to the presence of free electrons that can move through its structure.
What is the physical change of a solid at the melting point?
It turns from a solid to a liquid
The temperature at which a solid melts is called?
melting point
