Calcium is a metal.

Calcium can conduct electricity in both its solid and molten state because it has mobile charge carriers. In its solid state, calcium atoms are arranged in a lattice structure and the movement of electrons within the lattice allows for electrical conductivity. In its molten state, the calcium ions are free to move throughout the liquid, facilitating the flow of electric current.

Does calcium nitrate conduct electricity?
Calcium Hydroxide cannot conduct electricity when it is in solid state but it can conduct electricity in aqueous solution state or molten state. This is because it is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds are made of charged ions which are held tightly in solid state but become mobile in molten or aqueous solution state. The movement of these mobile ions between electrodes helps in conducting electricity.
Can ethanoic acid conduct electricity in molten state?
I didn't know electricity had a molten state...
Is barium chloride conductive?
Not in its usual solid state. But like other ionic compounds calcium chloride will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
Can molten sugar conduct electricity?
Yes any liquid can
What are ALL the materials that can conduct electricity?
Anything metallic can conduct electricity. Also molten ionic compounds and solutions of ionic compounds. Aqueous acids also conduct electricity.
How do ionic compounds conduct?
Do_ionic_compounds_conduct_electricitycompounds conduct electricity when they are either dissolved in water of they are molten. If they remain a solid then they will not conduct electricity
Does molten sugar conduct electricity?
It does not conduct electricity
Why are some liquids and some gas conductors of electricity?
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)
Do ionically bonded materials conduct electricity?
Yes, in either the molten state or in solution

Why ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are in molten state?
a molten one
Why sodium chloride will conduct electricity when molten?
Beacause they consist of free ions which conduct electricity
Why molten sulfur can't conduct electricity but molten copper chloride can?
The element copper can conduct electricity. These are two completely different chemical substances.
Does potassuim hydroxide conduct electricity?
Not in its standard solid state. But it will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
Does ionic compounds conduct in electricity?
Ionic compounds will not conduct electricity as solids, which is what they are at room temperature. However, they will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
