Salts are normally very brittle and hard, but when their ions can move about salts are excellent electrical conductors. this is possible when a salt melts or dissolves. when a salt melts the ions that make up the crystal can freely move past each other. Molten salts are good conductors although they do not work as well as metals. Similarly if a salt dissolves on water it's ions are no longer held tightly in a crystal because the ions can move freely the solution can conduct electrisity

Salts conductors of electricity?
Because after dissociation ions are formed ionic salts can be electricity conductors. Also melted ionic salts are electricity conductors.
When are salts excellent condutors of electricity?
False. A salt solution is full of positive and negative ions making it a good conductor of electricity.
Are there any other household conductors?
o There are some organic compounds that can conduct electricity (organic conductors) salts, solubilized in water or any other solvent that can solubilize them conduct electricity. Molten salts conduct electricity ionized atoms or molecules can conduct electricity
How does lime conduct electricity?
It contains citric acid and other salts which are conductors of electricity in the presence of water which is there of course.

When are salts excellent conductors electricity?
In solution (an electrolyte is formed) and in liquid state (melted).
What is a propety of metal?
Metals are generally good conductors of electricity and heat. They react with acids to produce salts. They are malleable and ductile.
Is silver a conductors of electricity?
Silver is one of the best conductors of electricity
Why conductors conduct electricity?
Conductors conduct electricity because they have free electrons.
Why can conductors conduct electricity?
Conductors conduct electricity because they have free electrons.
Are glass and rubber conductors?
Glass and rubber are not good conductors of electricity.
