Why ionic substances do not conduct electricity as solid but when molten state?
I dont really know
Does a solution formed from the dissolving of sugar in water conduct electrcity?
No, because it is not ionic.
Why ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are in molten state?
a molten one
Why do ironic substances do not conduct electricity in solid state but do so when molten?
Did you mean 'ionic substsnce' ? If yes, then it is common salt, NaCl
Why can ionic substances conduct electricity when melted?
Molten ionic compounds form a liquid that contains positive and negative ions and these conduct electricity. Cations move to the cathode, anions to anode. Not that someionic compounds decompose when melted.
Can ionic compounds conduct electric current when melted?
Yes, ionic compounds can only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.
When can an a ionic compound conduct electricity?
When 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.
Do ionic compound's or covalent molecole's conduct electicity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in aqueous solution or molten state. In aq. soln. or molten state, ionic compounds dissociate to release respective ions. These ions, being electrically charged, conduct electricity.
Why will an ionic compound only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved?
yes
Why does potassium chloride conduct electricity?
Potassium chloride is an ionic solid, the ionic solids can conduct the electricity if they are in molten state or in aqueous solution.
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
