Almost all of them if not all of them. Off hand I can not think of any metal that does not conduct electricity in the solid phase, I'm a little unsure about the liquid phase but I do beliece that the resistnce is still fairly low.

Their nuclei are surounded by a sea of free floating electrons.since metallic bonds are due to electrostatic forces of attraction between between the negatively charged electrons and +vely charged nuclei, all their valence electrons become delocalised.unlike ionic compounds where ions are in fixed state in solid state in metals the delocalised electrons are mobile both in solid and molten form.

Can molten lead conduct electricity?

Not all but many of the substances conduct electricity in the molten form. Those substances which are insulators do not conduct electricity in any state, but subs. like ionic compounds start conducting electricity in the molten state.


Does Caesium Chloride Conduct 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.

Not in its usual solid state. But like other ionic compounds calcium chloride will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.


Would NaOH conduct electricity?

Like other ionic compounds NaOH will not conduct electricity in its solid form, but will if dissolved in water or molten.


Why does potassium chloride conduct electricity?

Potassium chloride is an ionic solid, the ionic solids can conduct the electricity if they are in molten state or in aqueous solution.


Why potassium iodide can conduct electricity in the molten state but not in solid state?

Potassium Bromide or KBr is not able to conduct electricity in solid state. It is an ionic compound and its ions are not free to move in the solid state, hence they are not able to conduct electricity. But when they are in aqueous state, they are free to move and thus become able to conduct electricity.
