Most gases conduct electricity when a very high voltage is applied to them. This occurs in nature as lightning.The gases are ionised ,or stripped of electrons, and then become a plasma whereupon they conduct an electric current and glow according to their chemistry. Neon has a signature red colour.

Can hydrogen chloride gas conduct electricity?

No, hydrogen chloride gas is a covalent compound and does not conduct electricity because it does not dissociate into ions that can carry charge.


Why are some liquids and some gas conductors of electricity?

molten metals are liquids that conduct electricity (mercury is molten at room temperature)electrolytes are liquids that conduct electricity (acids, salts, or bases either dissolved in water or molten)ionized gases conduct electricity (unless ionized gases are excellent insulators)


Unlike a gas plasma conduct electric current?

A gas plasma is a ionized gas in which atoms have lost or gained electrons, allowing it to conduct electricity. This is in contrast to a regular gas, where the atoms remain electrically neutral and do not conduct electricity well.


Does argon gas conduct electricity and heat?

gases do not conduct heat or electricity well. metals conduct both well. but argon is a conductor


Does oxygen conduct electricity?

oxygen does not conduct electricity because it is a gas that we breath in and a gas that we cannot see so it cannot conduct electricity.


Does nitrogen conduct electricity?

Nitrogen is not considered to conduct electricity. This gas lacks the free electrons to support conduction.


Do hydrogen molecules or hydrogen gas conduct electricity?

No, hydrogen molecules (H2) do not conduct electricity. However, hydrogen gas can conduct electricity when it is ionized or dissociated into its constituent ions (H+ and e-), making it capable of carrying an electric current.


Why does paint conduct electricity?

SOME paint may contain ingredients that conduct electricity, but most do not.


Can ammonia conduct electricity?

Ammonia is a gas. Gases do conduct electricity, as all materials do. However, they conduct electricity so poorly that we consider them insulators. "Electricity" requires the movement of electrons. In a gas, these electrons are too dispersed to provided any measurable current.


Do detergents conduct electricity?

no they do not conduct because they are neutral things
