What type of substance can conduct electricity in the liquid but not solid phase?
Most ionic solids cannot conduct electricity in the solid phase. They only do so in the liquid phase. While they are solid, the ions in the ionic solid are fixed in their lattice so cannot move to conduct electricity whereas in the liquid phase, the ions are free and mobile and can act as charge carriers for electricity.
Does camphor conduct electricity?
No, camphor does not conduct electricity. It is a type of organic compound, so it cannot ionize to conduct electricity.
What is polyalkene?
it is watretight and doesnt conduct heat or electricity ie fairly unreactive
What type of compound ionic or covalent will conduct electricity and dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds generally dissolve in water dissociating to give ions that are free to move and conduct electricity. Molten ionic compounds also have free ions and conduct electricity. Ionic compounds generally do not conduct electricity in the solid form.
Is a magnet a insulator or conductor of electricity?
Assuming you mean electrical conductor / insulator, most bar magnets are made of solid metal, either iron, neodymium or an alloy of aluminium nickel and cobalt, so they conduct electricity. There is one type of magnet called a ferrite magnet which does not conduct electricity - they are the type often found in loudspeakers.
What type of metal will conduct electricity the worst?
gold
What type of material does not conduct heat or electricity?
One type of material that does not conduct heat or electricity is a ceramic material, such as glass or porcelain. These materials have a high electrical resistance and low thermal conductivity, which prevents the flow of heat or electricity through them.
What materials conduct heat and electricity?
The best conductor for heat and electricity is any type of metal element.
How much electricity can metal conduct?
It depends on the type of metal. The ability of a metal to conduct electricity is one trait that identifies a metal. For example, copper can conduct electricity very well (better than most metals).
What type of substances have high melting point temperatures conduct electricity only when melted or dissolved in water not when solid and is generally more soluble in polar solvents like water?
ionic compounds
Is a foam pillow a conductor or an insulator?
This depends on the type of foam. There have been made foam that actually conduct electricity. This is a choice made in the manufacturing of the foam. Most foam in mattresses and the like does not conduct electricity. Moisture however can change the mattresses conductivity drastically.
Can food conduct electricity?
It depends on the type of food. Some do, some don't.
