Why does potassium chloride conduct electricity?
Potassium chloride is an ionic solid, the ionic solids can conduct the electricity if they are in molten state or in aqueous solution.
Does potassium choloride conduct electrisity?
When it's in a solid form no but if it is a liquid (when placed in a solution) then yes it does conduct electricity.
Does molten sugar conduct electricity?
It does not conduct electricity
Why ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are in molten state?
a molten one
Is potassium fluoride conductive?
yes, it is a good conductor as it dissociates to give +ive and -ive ions which conduct electricity.
Why does potassium chloride conduct electricity?
Potassium chloride is an ionic solid, the ionic solids can conduct the electricity if they are in molten state or in aqueous solution.
What forms does potassium conduct electricity in?
Potassium is a metal. Like other metals, potassium will conduct electricity in both the solid and liquid (or molten) forms. But because potassium is so very reactive, you will never find it in metallic form on earth, unless it is specially prepared and stored, usually in a sealed container submerged in an inert liquid. Potassium is found in nature as ionic salts. Ionic salts conduct electricity in a molten state, but not a solid state.
Why potassium iodide can conduct electricity in the molten state but not in solid state?
Potassium Bromide or KBr is not able to conduct electricity in solid state. It is an ionic compound and its ions are not free to move in the solid state, hence they are not able to conduct electricity. But when they are in aqueous state, they are free to move and thus become able to conduct electricity.
Does potassium choloride conduct electrisity?
When it's in a solid form no but if it is a liquid (when placed in a solution) then yes it does conduct electricity.
How do they get potassium?
By electrolysis of Molten Potassium chloride
Why is potassium a good conductor of electricity?
Potassium is a very reactive metal, but being a metal, it conducts very well in the solid state. It does not have to be melted, but it will conduct in the molten state as well (but to a different extent).
Does molten sugar conduct electricity?
It does not conduct electricity
Does solid potassium bromide conduct electricity?
No because it's a crystalline ionic solid. However, dissolve some KBr in water and it will conduct electricity nicely, because in solution it's an electrolyte, with lots of little K+ and Br- ions floating around.
Why ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are in molten state?
a molten one
Why molten sulfur can't conduct electricity but molten copper chloride can?
The element copper can conduct electricity. These are two completely different chemical substances.
Can giant covalent structures conduct electricity when molten?
Some do- for example molten silicon conducts like ametal when molten.
Why mix molten potassium and sugar?
it creates energy
