Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the liquid phase?

Magnetricity


Are copper sulphate crystals good conductors of electricity?

Yes, copper sulfate crystals can conduct electricity when dissolved in water because the ions present in the solution are free to carry the electric current. However, solid copper sulfate crystals do not conduct electricity as well because the ions are not free to move.


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.


Which substances aluminum foil sugar or potassium hydroxide will conduct electric current dissolved in water?

Potassium hydroxide will conduct electric current when dissolved in water due to the presence of ions that allow the flow of electricity. Aluminum foil will not conduct electricity in water as it is a metal and does not dissolve into ions. Sugar is a non-electrolyte and will not conduct electricity when dissolved in water.


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?

Ionic crystals conduct electricity when dissolved in water or in the liquid phase because the ions are free to move and carry electrical charge. In the solid phase, the ions are locked in place and cannot move freely to conduct electricity. In contrast, metals conduct in the solid phase due to the mobility of free electrons within the metallic lattice.


How are acids that have been dissolved in water able to conduct an electric current?

Will sugar dissolved in water conduct electric currant?

Yes, it will conduct electric current much better than plain water. The sugar molecules in water form a clear solution by ionization facilitating the path of electrons of electric current.


Acids conduct electric current by forming?

Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water?

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water because the ions within the compound become free to move and carry electric charge. These ions can move and carry electric current through the water, allowing it to conduct electricity.


When can an a ionic compound conduct electricity?

An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in a molten state or when it is dissolved in water, allowing the ions to move freely and carry an electric charge. In these states, the ions are able to flow and transmit electric current.
