An electric current needs free current carriers, i.e. charged particles. Those are available in an ionic substance (i.e., the ions carry the current).
An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.
An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are dissolved in water or melted, allowing the ions to move and carry electric charge. Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are fixed in place and unable to move to carry charge.
That's right, solutions of ionic compounds do conduct electricity well.
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.
An ionic compound dissolved in water is an electrolyte and can conduct electricity.
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 do not conduct electricity when solid because the ions are held in place by a lattice structure which means they are not free to move to conduct. However when molten or dissolved ionic compounds do conduct electricity because the ions are free to move.
An ionic compound. Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in their solid state because the ions are locked in place and cannot move to carry a charge. However, when melted, these ions are free to move and conduct electricity.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in solution, as their ions are free to move and carry electrical charge. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity in any state, as they do not have free-moving ions or electrons.
Molecular solutes dissolve as whole molecules and do not dissociate into ions, while ionic solutes dissociate into ions when dissolved in solution. Molecular solutes do not conduct electricity in solution, whereas ionic solutes can conduct electricity due to the presence of free ions.
Ionic compounds are conductors in solution or melted.
