The ability of a solution to conduct an electrical current is its?
Conductivity - is measure in inverse amps.
What is A substance that conducts an electric current in solution?
A substance that dissolves in solution to conduct an electrical current is an "electrolyte" or, less commonly, an "ionogen".
How does ionic bonding affect the properties of the elements involved?
Properties of ionic compounds:High melting/boiling pointsGiant regular crystalline structuresolubledoes not conduct electricity when soliddoes conduct electricity as a solution or liquid
What is an electrolyte that is completely dissolved in a solution and still can conduct a sharp electrical current called?
Strong Electrolyte...I think.
What are ion that conduct electricity in solution?
A solution containing ions conduct electricity. They are different for each solution.
Do all salts conduct electricity?
The electrical properties of salts are very different.
What does thermal and electrical conductivity mean?
Thermal and electrical conductivity are physical properties; they represent the ability of materials to conduct heat or electrical current.
The ability of a solution to conduct an electrical current is its?
Conductivity - is measure in inverse amps.
What is A substance that conducts an electric current in solution?
A substance that dissolves in solution to conduct an electrical current is an "electrolyte" or, less commonly, an "ionogen".
How does the body conduct an electrical current?
The human body is over 70 percent water. The electron transfer that is the fundamental part of an electrical current uses ions dissolved in solution to conduct the electrical current.
What is a substance that dissolves in solution to conduct an electrical current?
In a normal battery; Copper and Zinc.
How can you determine experimentally whether or not a substance is present in ionic or molecular form when in aqueous solution?
If the solution will conduct electricity it is ionic. Solutions made from molecules do not conduct electricity.

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.
Does PTFE conduct electricity?
Polytetrafluoroethylene is a fluorocarbon polymer with slippery, non-sticking properties. Its best known brand name is Teflon, which is an electrical insulator and does not conduct electricity.
Why does the electrical counductivity of ionic compounds change when they are dissolved in water?
The ions dissociate (separate) in solution and can conduct electricity.
What is an electrolyte that is completely dissolved in a solution and still can conduct a sharp electrical current called?
Strong Electrolyte...I think.
