because ions must be free to move
No, because it is not ionic.
Ionic substances do not conduct electricity as solids because the ions are locked in place and cannot move to carry the electric current. However, when the ionic substance is melted, the ions are free to move and carry the charge, allowing the substance to conduct electricity.
Did you mean 'ionic substsnce' ? If yes, then it is common salt, NaCl
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.
yes
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
Ionic compounds are usually solid in nature and free flow of ions is not possible . However , in molten state the ions are able to flow freely and thus conduct electricity.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are in the molten state because the ions are free to move and carry electric charge. In the solid state, the ions are held in fixed positions in the crystal lattice and cannot move to conduct electricity. When the ionic compound is melted, the ions become mobile and can carry an electric current.
The reason is that there must be free electrons or charged particals that can move under the influence of an applied electric firld. Please note that other substances may conduct electricity e.g. graphite and molten ionic salts.
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.
Not in their standard solid states, but they can if molten or dissolved in water.
either in solution or in molten / fused state
