Can sodium hydroxide conduct electicity?
Not in its solid state. It will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
Why would a substance conduct when molten but not when solid?
we know that ions conduct electricity. ions in the solid state are not free whereas they are free in the molten or the liquid state. the conduction is much easier by the ions in this state
Why ionic substances do not conduct electricity as solid but when molten state?
I dont really know
Do ionic bonds conduct electrical?
Ionic bonding is simply a term referring to the attraction between the charged ions in an ionic compound. For a substance to conduct electricity, it must have free electrons or free ions. In a solid ionic compound, the electrons cannot move freely throughout the solid, but instead, they are restricted to their own ions. Also, the ions are fixed in their own positions, and thus, they too cannot move freely. Therefore, ionic compounds in the solid state do not conduct electricity. However, if this ionic compound was dissolved in water or in molten state, the electrons would still be restricted to their own ions. But now, the ions can move freely. This means that ionic compounds CAN conduct electricity when in solution or when molten, but not in the solid state.
Would NaOH conduct electricity?
Like other ionic compounds NaOH will not conduct electricity in its solid form, but will if dissolved in water or molten.
When does sodium chloride not conduct electricity?
Solid NaCl is not an electrolyte; the saline solution or the molten NaCl are electrolytes.
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
Is NaCl conductive?
Not as a solid, but dissolve it in water and the ions help electricity conduct through the saltwater. Totally pure water will hardly conduct electricity. The impurities in the water are what allows current to flow.
In what state does NaCl conduct electricity?
NaCl can conduct electricity in the molten state, and when dissociated into its constituent ions in water, Na2+ and Cl-.
Predict and explain what systems are electrically conducting e solid NaCl f molten NaCl g An aqueous solution of NaCl?
The aqueous and molten solutions are electrically conducting
2 Predict and explain what systems are electrically conducting a solid NaCl b molten NaCl c An aqueous solution of NaCl?
molten NaCl and An aqueous solution of NaCl will be conducting due to the presence of free ions in these.
Is molten NaCl conducting electricity?
Yes, molten sodium chloride conduct electricity; the electrolysis is possible as an industrial process.
Why molten sodium chloride conduct electricity?
Molten and Aqueous Sodium Chloride conduct electricity because the ions are free to move where as is a solid they have no free room. This is the same for magnesium chloride. In aluminum chloride and phosphorus chloride the solid doesn't conduct electricity because the ions aren't free to move. In liquid form they have converted into a covalent form, and so don't conduct either. All of the other chloride don't conduct electricity because they have no free ions or electrons when solid or liquid.
Is NaCl an elcetrolyte?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte. Water solutions of sodium chloride or molten NaCl are electrolytes.
Why Solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity?
solid nacl although contains ions and is an electrolyte does not conduct electricity because it does not have free valency electrons to move and thus the e- are bounded and this is the reason it does not conduct electricity
Is SrOH2 conductive?
Strontium hydroxide does not conduct electricity as a solid, but does conduct it when molten or when dissolved in water.
Can sodium hydroxide conduct electicity?
Not in its solid state. It will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
