No.


A substance that does not conduct electricity as a solid but does conduct electricity when melted is most likely classified as?

An Ionic Compund


How can you determine experimentally whether or not a substance is present in ionic or molecular form when in aqueous solution?

If the solution will conduct electricity it is ionic. Solutions made from molecules do not conduct electricity.


When can an ionic compound conduct electricity?

An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.


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.


Does liquid naphthalene conduct electricity?

Naphthalene is a Ionic Substance. Hence, Ionic substance do not conduct when solid. But they do conduct when melted or dissolved in water - and they decompose at the same time. Therefor molten Naphthalene conduts electricity as the ions become free to move when dissolved in water.

What are ALL the materials that can conduct electricity?

Anything metallic can conduct electricity. Also molten ionic compounds and solutions of ionic compounds. Aqueous acids also conduct electricity.


What type of compound ionic or covalent will conduct electricity and dissolve in water?

Ionic compounds generally dissolve in water dissociating to give ions that are free to move and conduct electricity. Molten ionic compounds also have free ions and conduct electricity. Ionic compounds generally do not conduct electricity in the solid form.


When can ionic compound conduct electric?

An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.


In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?

Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.


Do ionic compounds form solutions that conduct electricity well?

That's right, solutions of ionic compounds do conduct electricity well.
