In what state does NaCl conduct electricity?
NaCl can conduct electricity in the molten state, and when dissociated into its constituent ions in water, Na2+ and Cl-.
What feature of atomic structure and metallic bonding makes it possible for metals to conduct electricity in the solid state?
covalent bonding? not sure on this, but have a wiki read!
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 diamond conduct electricity at its solid state?
no
Can ethanoic acid conduct electricity in molten state?
I didn't know electricity had a molten state...
Does copper sulfate conduct electricity?
Copper sulphate can conduct electricity. However, this will only happen when it is in liquid or gaseous state but not in solid form.
What materials allow heat to pass through and electricity?
metals have the ability to pass and conduct electricity and heat through them....
Do materials with ionic bonds conduct electricity in a solid and liquid state?
Materials with ionic bonds normally conduct electricity only in a liquid state. However metals, which have what are sometimes called "delocalized" ionic bonds, also conduct electricity in the solid state. It is now customary to consider metallic bonds a separate class from both ionic and covalent bonds.
In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Can water conduct electricity in solid state?
No. Water can only conduct electricity in its liquid state with dissolved ionic solutes.
What metals electrically conductive?
All metals Conduct:Tin, steel, iron, copper, aluminum, zinc, gold, silver and all other metals conduct electricity very well compared to most other compounds. (These pure metals conduct, but when they are used to form compounds, the result may of may not conduct electricity.)Why metals conduct:With the discoveries in solid state physics of the 20th century we learned that metals are collections of atoms which have somewhat unusually properties of the electrons. In metals the outermost electron (sometimes two) is not specifically associated with that one atom but is free to associate with atoms far and wide. We say these are delocalized electrons. Since the electrons are not attached to specific atoms, it takes very little energy to move them. As a result, any small voltage causes electron flow in a metal.This movement or flow of electrons is called electricity so this is why metals conduct electricity.Aside: Metals are not the only materials that conduct electricity, they just do it especially well.All metals Conduct:Tin, steel, iron, copper, aluminum, zinc, gold, silver and all other metals conduct electricity very well compared to most other compounds.

No. Covalent substances do not conduct electricity in solid or liquid state.

Why can't an ionic compound conduct electricity?
An ionic compound cannot conduct electricity only in solid state. It is so because conduction in an ionic compound is due to movement of ions. In the solid state the ions are unable to move, so they can't conduct electricity but in molten state they are free and hence conduct electricity in that 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.
