What states can conduct electricity?
If your talking about state, like as in states of matter, then electricity has none. Electricity is not matter, so it can not have a state.
What physical states is present when a substance melts?
what state of matter is present at the melting point of a substance
How will you justify that ice and water and water vapour are the states of a substance and not substance?
we know that the water is H2O and the ice is H20 and the water vapour is H20. so we can tell that these are all the states of water.
Which theory states every molecules of magnetic substance is a tiny magnet?
weber's
Can a landlord legally shut your electricity off?
Depending on what your lease states, they may be able to.
Why are ionic compound non conductors of electricity in solid and rare conductors of electricity in molten state?
The reason they are in solid and molten states is because of there electricity conducting capability's
Can molten lead conduct electricity?
Not all but many of the substances conduct electricity in the molten form. Those substances which are insulators do not conduct electricity in any state, but subs. like ionic compounds start conducting electricity in the molten state.
Is sodium chloride a good conductor of electricity in solid state?
First, you should keep in mind that for a substance to conduct electricity, it must have free-moving electric charges, such as ions and electrons. In the solid state, the ions in Sodium Chloride are fixed in position by strong ionic bonds. Therefore, it does not conduct electricity in the solid state. In solution or molten states, the ions are free moving, and thus they can conduct electricity.
Is bromide a non metal and a good conductor of electricity?
Bromine, as the element is called on its own is a nonmetal, and is a poor conductor of electricity. Bromide salts conduct electricity if dissolved in water or molten, but not in their normal solid states.
What states can conduct electricity?
If your talking about state, like as in states of matter, then electricity has none. Electricity is not matter, so it can not have a state.
Is sodium chloride different from a metal as an electrical conductor?
Sodium chloride is different from a metal as an electrical conductor. This is because sodium chloride is an ionic compound and therefore can only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved, as the ions are free to move in this state. However, metals can conduct electricity when solid or molten because the atoms are free to move in both states, therefore they can carry an electrical charge. This is therefore the difference between sodium chloride and metals as an electrical conductor.
In what states does Rocky Mountain Power conduct business?
Rocky Mountain Power conducts business in Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. Rocky Mountain Power conducts business for both business and residential customers in those states.
What are meanings of molten and fused states of an ionic compound?
when solid is converted to liquid by heat is called molten while solid state is called fuse state
How do electrical conductivity of ionic compounds change when they are melted or dissolved in water?
When ionic compounds are placed in water, they cause the water to conduct electricity. Normally, water doesn't conduct electricity well at all. However, when salts dissolve in water, they break up into their constituent cations and anions and it is the presence of these ions that allows it to conduct electricity. Because salts conduct electricity when dissolved in water, they are referred to as electrolytes. In the same way, pure salts conduct electricity only when they are melted. As a solid, the anions and cations in an ionic compound are locked in place and unable to move electrical charge. However, when the ionic compound is melted, these ions are free to move around and conduct charge. Electrolytes are compounds that conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Many ionic compounds are considered to be electrolytes. However some ionic compounds don't dissolve in water. As a result, they do not share this property.
Which department conducts all cases in the supreme Court in which united States is a party?
Department of Justice
Do ionic compounds conduct electicity?
Not in their standard solid states, but they can if molten or dissolved in water.
What are three properties of ionic compounds?
1) High Melting and Boiling Points. Ionic Compounds and bonded together by strong Ionic Bond. This results in a very strong bond requiring a lot of energy (in the form of heat energy) to overcome. Thus causing High Melting and Boiling points. 2) Conducts electricity in liquid state and in molten state. Ionic Compounds have a Crystal Latice Structure which causes their ions to be at fixed points thus making them unable to conduct electricity when in solid state. However when in liquid state or in molten state, Ions can move freely and thus they can conduct electricity in those two states. 3) Soluble in water but not soluble in organic solvent such as oil.
