Solid state of any matter is assumed to be best conductor. But still its conductivity is not perfect. So, any conducting matter to become a perfect conductor must be cooled to extremely low temperatures to increase its conductivity and that state is known as super conductivity and the matter is known as superconductor.

∙ 11y agoSolids conduct heat the best. The reason for this is that the molecules within the solid are arranged in such a way that they are vibrating against each other, therefore the heat spreads faster throughout the particles.

in solid the molicules are closely packed so the eletrons get charge up which vibrates and heat it up

∙ 9y agoi think liquid state of matter be best conducter of electricity because it has closed molecules than in gas . thats why it can transfer electricity in any materials

obviously gas

In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity?
No. Covalent substances do not conduct electricity in solid or liquid state.
Why can't an ionic compound conduct electricity?
An ionic compound cannot conduct electricity only in solid state. It is so because conduction in an ionic compound is due to movement of ions. In the solid state the ions are unable to move, so they can't conduct electricity but in molten state they are free and hence conduct electricity in that state.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as liquid or solid?
covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in any state.
Why does salt not conduct electricity?
Salts in solid form will not conduct electricity as the ions cannot be in motion. However when salts are dissolved in aqueous medium (to form solution), they will conduct electricity. Also salts conduct electricity in molten (or fused) state.
In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Can water conduct electricity in solid state?
No. Water can only conduct electricity in its liquid state with dissolved ionic solutes.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity?
No. Covalent substances do not conduct electricity in solid or liquid state.
In what state does NaCl conduct electricity?
NaCl can conduct electricity in the molten state, and when dissociated into its constituent ions in water, Na2+ and Cl-.
Why can't an ionic compound conduct electricity?
An ionic compound cannot conduct electricity only in solid state. It is so because conduction in an ionic compound is due to movement of ions. In the solid state the ions are unable to move, so they can't conduct electricity but in molten state they are free and hence conduct electricity in that state.
Does potassuim hydroxide conduct electricity?
Not in its standard solid state. But it will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
Does calcium bromide conduct electricity?
Calcium bromide is an ionic solid, in the solid state it does not conduct electricity. Solutions do conduct, as does the melt.
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.
Can diamond conduct electricity at its solid state?
no
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as liquid or solid?
covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in any state.
Can ethanoic acid conduct electricity in molten state?
I didn't know electricity had a molten state...
Does aluminum conduct electricity in a dissolved state?
No, aluminum is definitely in a solid state when it conducts electricity.
