What states can conduct electricity?
If your talking about state, like as in states of matter, then electricity has none. Electricity is not matter, so it can not have a state.
What substances can conduct electricity in solid state?
solids are of 3 types 1)insulators 2)conductors and 3)semi-conductors conductors easily conduct electricity and semi conductors conduct electricity at suitable conditions but insulators do not conduct electricity
Which substance conducts electricity in both molten and solid states?
Ag (silver) because it is a metal and metals conduct electricity no matter in solid or liquid phase.
How does conduction occur in a solid in simplest form?
Heat conduction occurs when one atom bumps into another atom, transferring heat energy.Electrical conduction occurs through the movement of charge carriers, which in a solid are usually electrons or holes.
Are three states of matter?
There are now five states of matter which are the BE Condensate, solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas.
What states can conduct electricity?
If your talking about state, like as in states of matter, then electricity has none. Electricity is not matter, so it can not have a state.
Pressure changes have no effect on the entropy of substances in the blank or blank states?
liquids and solids
Does sugar in solid form conduct electricity?
well technically anything can conduct electricity..... but that doesnt mean it will be easier because of higher and lower resistances.
Why can't ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are in solid states?
because they are tight together
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.
Are solid liquid and gas phases or substances?
Solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas are all states of matter. Hopefully that helps.
What substances can conduct electricity in solid state?
solids are of 3 types 1)insulators 2)conductors and 3)semi-conductors conductors easily conduct electricity and semi conductors conduct electricity at suitable conditions but insulators do not conduct electricity
Is sodium chloride a good conductor of electricity in solid state?
First, you should keep in mind that for a substance to conduct electricity, it must have free-moving electric charges, such as ions and electrons. In the solid state, the ions in Sodium Chloride are fixed in position by strong ionic bonds. Therefore, it does not conduct electricity in the solid state. In solution or molten states, the ions are free moving, and thus they can conduct electricity.
Which substance conducts electricity in both molten and solid states?
Ag (silver) because it is a metal and metals conduct electricity no matter in solid or liquid phase.
Is bromide a non metal and a good conductor of electricity?
Bromine, as the element is called on its own is a nonmetal, and is a poor conductor of electricity. Bromide salts conduct electricity if dissolved in water or molten, but not in their normal solid states.
What substances can exist naturally in two different states?
One of these which are called, solids, liquids or gases can be naturally it different states.
What properties is shared by solids liquids and gases?
Common properties of liquids and gases: (i) Both do not have a specific shape. (ii) Both are compressible. (iii) In both the states ,substances can flow. That is why they are called fluids.
