- molten metals are liquids that conduct electricity (Mercury is molten at room temperature)
- electrolytes are liquids that conduct electricity (acids, salts, or bases either dissolved in water or molten)
- ionized gases conduct electricity (unless ionized gases are excellent insulators)
What else can I help you with?
Which is the best conductor of sound a gas a liquid or a solid?
Solids and liquids are better conductors. You can't say which of the two because some solids are more dense than some liquids and vice versa.
Why are gases the worst conductors of all?
Gases are poor conductors of heat and electricity because their particles are widely spaced and have weak intermolecular forces. This means that heat and electrons cannot be transferred efficiently between gas particles, resulting in low conductivity. Liquids and solids, with their closer particles and stronger intermolecular forces, are better conductors than gases.
Is carbon monoxide a conductor?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is not a conductor of electricity; it is a non-metallic gas that does not have free electrons to carry an electric current. Its molecular structure does not allow for the conduction of electricity, making it an insulator rather than a conductor. In general, gases are poor conductors compared to liquids and solids.
Why are liquids and gasses not good conductors?
A liquid or a gas will conduct electricity when they have free ions in them. examples would be lead-acid batteries, and fluorescent lamps. Mercury vapour rectifiers are used to conduct quite large currents by virtue of the ionized mercury vapour.
Is gas a good conductor of electricity?
Air and other gases are usually good insulators but sometimes they can be good conductors
What properties do plasmas have that solids liquids and gases dont?
A plasma is an ionized gas ... thus its properties are those of a gas PLUS the fact that it can conduct electricity.
What is the gaseous form of electricity that comes off of Tesla coils I have read about a thing called cold electricity that is a gaseous form of electricity some how connected to the northern lights?
I believe you are referring to plasma, which is an ionized gas. It is the 4th state of matter apart from solids, liquids and gases.
What are the three main electric conductors?
Most metals conduct electricity. Copper and gold are probably the two best conductors. Steel conducts electricity, but it's an alloy not an element. Some other nonmetals also conduct electricity. Experiments are ongoing with carbon for use in computers. Neon is a gas which allows electricity to flow through it, making neon lights. Today Copper is used more than anything else when electricity must move from one place to another predictably.
Are nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
In terms of the elements, no, with the possible exception of carbon (C) in the form of graphite. The non metal elements are generally the opposite, insulating as opposed to conducting. However, Water with a high salt concentration, and plasma (electrically charged gas) are good conductors.
Are halogens good conductors of electricity?
Bromine is a liquid at room temperature, and it is located in group 7 of the periodic table, i.e., it is a halogen. It is a non-metal and thus is a poor conductor of both electricity and heat.
Is group 7 poor conductors of heat and electricity as solids and gases?
Group 7 elements, also known as the halogens, are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity in both solid and gaseous states. As solids, they have molecular structures that do not allow for the free movement of electrons, which is necessary for conduction. In their gaseous form, halogens exist as diatomic molecules, further limiting their ability to conduct electricity. Thus, both in solid and gas forms, they are not good conductors.
What are some known gas and electricity companies?
There are several well known gas and electricity companies. These companies include Pacific Gas and Electric Company, All Connect Natural Gas and Electricity, and Spark Energy.
