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.
In solid Conductors Electric current is the flow of?
electrons
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.
Difference between solid and stranded conductors?
In a solid conductor there will be only one conductor ,but in stranded conductors there are several conductors twisted together to make a whole conductor ,this is mainly done to increase flexibility of the Conductor .
Is a solid a conductor or insulator?
It depends on what it's made of. A metal is a conductor and a nonmetal is an insulator.
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.
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.

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
What is the advantage of using a stranded copper conductor over a solid copper conductor?
It would of course depend on the specific application. Current tends to travel on the surface of a conductor and a stranded conductor has more surface area and thus offers less resistance to the current. Stranded wire also bends a bit easier than the corresponding size solid wire.
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
Is Solid sodium chloride is a good conductor of electric current?
yes, because it is an ionic compund, made of the ionic bond of sodium and chloride. an ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal and sodium is a metal while chloride is a nonmetal.
