What type of solid is likely to be the best conductor of an electric current?
The solid that conducts electricity most efficiently is metal. This is as a result of the metallic solids allowing the transfer of energy through the molecules in an efficient manner.
Which type of solid is likely to be the best conductoe of electric current?
The best conductor of electricity is silver, followed by copper and gold.
Is KCl a good electrical conductor?
yes KCl of potassium chloride is a good conductor of electricty, but ONLY when in an aqueous (water solution) or in molten (fused) state. It doesnot conduct in solid state.
Is concreate a good or poor conductor?
of heat, not great because it has air pockets. Of sound, pretty good because it is a solid. of electricity, it is an insulator. Be more specific.
What naturally occurring substance is the best conductor of electricity?
Noble metals have the best conductivity of nature's elements. Among these, Gold, Platinum, Silver, and Copper are the best. Copper, being far less costly than the rest has come into common use in electrical wiring of all sorts, precisely for these reasons.
Is iodine an electrical conductor?
Iodine, either in its solid state or dissolved in alcohol, is not a conductor of electricity.
Conduction electricity for sodium chloride?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
Do sodium chloride crystals conduct electricity?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
Why does sodium chloride conduct electricity in crystalline form?
When it is a solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
Does NaCl conducts electricity?
Not in its normal, solid form but it will when molten or dissolved in water.
What is a science conductor?
A conductor is an object (usually a solid) that allows heat or electricity to pass through it easily by the process of conduction, which is a method of heat/electricity transfer in which heat/electricity travels through a solid material without actually causing movement of the medium. Copper, aluminium, and pretty much all metals are good conductors. Water is a conductor of electricity but an insulator of heat. An insulator is the opposite of a conductor, and absorbs heat/electricity rather than channeling it. Plastic is an insulator of both heat and electricity. Wood, styrofoam and vacuum (dead air, like in space) are also heat insulators.
Can electricity be ran through solid Chocolate?
Yes ... but it makes a mess as chocolate is a lousy conductor.
Is iodine solid a conductor?
No solid iodine does not conduct electricity.
What do you call solids that conduct electricity?
A substance that conducts electricity is a conductor. There is no special name for one that is solid; if you need to specify that it is solid, just call it a "solid conductor".
Which substance meets the requirements cubic solid poor electrical conductor in the solid state good conductor when fused a sodium chloride b diamond c sulfur d chromium?
A, sodium chloride, because it is a crystalline solid. It has an ionic bond when in it's solid form and is a poor conductor. It is a good conductor of electricity in an aqueous state or when fused.
Why Electricity doesn't travel through solid sodium chloride but travel through solution?
Solid sodium chloride is not a conductor, However, neither is pure water. When you dissolve anything in water, it creates a path for electricity to flow through it.
What is the conductivity for sodium azide?
Electrical conductivity: 0.21 x 106 S cm-1
