Why is a melted ionic compound a good conductor of electric current but the a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor of electric current?
Upon melting, the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.
Is ionic compound electrical conductivity in the liquid state good or poor?
Good
Is a covalent compound a good conductor?
no
Why is ammonium acetate a good conductor of electricity?
It is an ionic compound. If the ions are free to move, such is if it is molten or dissolved in water, it will conduct electricity. The two ions are NH4 + and CH3COO-.
Is ionic a good conductor of electricity in both a solid and liquid phases?
no

Is ionic compound electrical conductivity in the liquid state good or poor?
Good
Is salt water a conductor or a insulator?
insulator.
What are ionic compound properties?
High boiling points, good conductor of heat and electricity, high solubility
Does liquid conduct electricity well?
It depends on the liquid. Oil would not be a good conductor of electricity. Water is a good conductor, though distilled water is not. Any liquid metal or ionic compound would be a good conductor.
Is ionic compounds electrical conductivity in liquid state poor or good?
There are free ions in the liquid state of ionic compound, hence the are good conductors of electricity.
Is bone an insulator or conductor?
Well, bone is not a conductor because it doesnt reflect or let electricity throughso bone is an insulator
Does water conduct electricity well?
Pure water is a very poor conductor of electricity. Dissolving an ionic compound in water makes the solution a very good conductor.
What is a good electrical conductor when mixed with water?
Soluble ionic compounds are excellent conductors of electricity when dissolved in water - such as sodium chloride (common salt)
Is nitrogen a conductor of electricity?
Nitrogen is not a good electrical conductor.
Copper is a good electrical what?
Conductor
