Does sodium Bromide conduct electricity in liquid state?

after heating Lead Bromide, it becomes a molten which conducts electricity. so the answer is yes it does. lead bromide's an ionic bond. so, compared to the structure of an ionic bond, lead bromide does conduct electricity when molten. When molten or in an aqueous state, the ions become free to move and so it can carry electric charge around as well.


Does solid lead bromide conduct electricity?

No.


Which elements would you get when electricity is passed through molten lead bromide?

Lead and bromine


Does aqueous lead bromide conduct electricity?

Not really. Lead bromide's solubility in water is so low that it is generally considered to be insoluble.


What is produced at the positive electrode of the electrolysis of molten lead bromide?

Lead in solid state


Can molten lead conduct electricity?

Not all but many of the substances conduct electricity in the molten form. Those substances which are insulators do not conduct electricity in any state, but subs. like ionic compounds start conducting electricity in the molten state.


What particles are present in molten lead ii bromide?

In Lead(II) bromide, a white powder, there are two elements in the chemical compound. Lead(II) bromide contains both lead and bromine particles and has the chemical formula PbBr2.


Why does electrolysis not occur unless lead II bromide is molten?

Because it has to be an ionic substance, either by being molten or by being in solution.


Will pencil lead conduct electricity?

Yes, Pencil Lead does conduct Electricity. Copper, Gold and Silver though are the best conductors.


How could lead bromide be made into a liquid for electrolysis?

by changing it into a molten state I would guess

Is sulfur a good conductor of heat and electricity?

Sulfur is generally not a good conductor of heat and electricity, if it is the atom itself you are talking about. If Sulfur is present in an ionic compound, (example: Copper Sulfide, Lead Sulfide), then this compound will conduct electricity in only the MOLTEN state. Also, if Sulfur is in a polyatomic ion (example: Sulfate) and this polyatomic ion forms an ionic compound with another metal, in an aqueous solution, then it will conduct electricity. Remember, ionic compounds only conduct in the MOLTEN/LIQUID state. Glad to help, regards
