solids are of 3 types 1)insulators 2)conductors and 3)semi-conductors conductors easily conduct electricity and semi conductors conduct electricity at suitable conditions but insulators do not conduct electricity
All Metals are capable of conducting electricity. The best conductive metals are Silver, Gold, And Copper (in that order). A metal's conductivity increases when it's temperature decreases.
Then there are non metallic semi-conductors like Lead and Silicon that only conduct electricity when certain conditions are met. Our ability to manipulate these conditions is what enables computation. That is why the computer tech sector in western united states is called Silicon Valley.
Water can conduct electricity to a certain degree. Anything non-conductive that gets wet will be better able to carry a current. However water is a relatively poor conductor compared to the above.
Water conducts electricity because it always contains a percentage of dissolved ions. Even pure water contains a small amount of ions that are derived from the splitting of the water molecules themselves. In that sense water becomes it's own solvent.
Water with a large amount of dissolved ions is comparable in conductivity to metallic conductors. A car battery is a good example of this.
Graphite and most metals conduct electricity when solid.
It's simply called an "electrical conductor". An example is the metal copper.
When ionic substances are dissolved in water they dissociate and can then conduct electricity.
Semi - conductors.
an ionic compound or substance
As a solid, the charged particles cannot move and therefore, cannot carry charge.
ammonia
no
No, aluminum is definitely in a solid state when it conducts electricity.
No.
In the solid state ionic crystals are not dissociated in ions.
Ionic substances conduct electricity through the migration of ions. Positive ions move toward the negative electrode (cathode), and negative ions move toward the positive electrode (anode). In a solid there is no migration (movement) because the ions are locked together in a crystal lattice, the solid form.
No. Covalent substances do not conduct electricity in solid or liquid state.
They are conductive in solution or melted.
I dont really know
Calcium bromide is an ionic solid, in the solid state it does not conduct electricity. Solutions do conduct, as does the melt.
no
Did you mean 'ionic substsnce' ? If yes, then it is common salt, NaCl
No. Water can only conduct electricity in its liquid state with dissolved ionic solutes.
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.
Not in its standard solid state. But it will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
yes copper can conduct in a solid state but im trying to find if it conducts in a liquid state :)
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.
No, aluminum is definitely in a solid state when it conducts electricity.
