In solid Conductors Electric current is the flow of?
electrons
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.
What material conducts electric current poorly?
An element that conducts heat and electrcurrent poorly, and can be a solid, liquid, or gas is a(n)nonmetal.
What is the difference between the movement of electric charge in a solution and the transfer of electric charge between solid objects?
Compare and contrast the movement of electric charge in a solution with the transfer of electric charge between solid objects?
What is the differenc e between drift diffusion current?
Specifically, drift relates the movement of a carrier (e.g., an electron or hole) to an applied electric field (i.e., the velocity of the carrier is proportional to the electric field, where the proportionality constant, mobility, is a quantity derived in solid-state physics). Diffusion relates the movement of carriers due to random (i.e., thermal) behavior and non-uniform distribution (i.e., the velocity of the carrier is proportional to the logarithmic derivative of the density of carriers, where the proportionality constant, the diffusion constant, is a quantity derived in solid-state physics).
In solid Conductors Electric current is the flow of?
electrons
When can an ionic compound conduct electric current?
when it solid
Why do ionic crystals cunduct electric current in the liquid phase or when desolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
Magnetricity.
What is a liquid or solid substance or mixture that does not allow an electric current?
an insulator
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the solid phase liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid plase?
In solid state the ions are packed very tightly, so ions are not free to move, therefore no conduction.
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
because of the gravity or Magnetricity
How electric current flows through solid?
moving conduction band electrons

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.
Does lightning have a solid state?
No. Lightning is an electric current flowing through ionized air.
Does ionic compounds counduct an electric current in the molten state?
yes, but not in the solid state
Why is a melted ionic compound is a good conductor of electric current but a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor of electric current?
Upon melting, the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.
