Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
because of the gravity or Magnetricity
When a metal reacts with a nonmetal are the substances good conductors of electric current?
The product of a metal reacting with a nonmetal is a salt; in solid form these do not conduct electricity well, but dissolved in water they do.
Can electric current pass through alcohol Explain?
Yes, alcohol is a liquid and has delocalised electrons which can carry the electrical current. Edited: Seriously? Unless there are impurities in the alcohol that are electrolytes, alcohol will NOT conduct an electric current. Alcohols are considered as NON ELECTROLYTES, as they do not ionize and thus will not conduct a current. (Dr.J.)
In order to conduct an electric current a substance must contain a what?
It should contain some IONS, or charged particles.
What A material that dissolves in water that does not conduct electric current is?
non-electrolytes
What is dissolved in water will conduct an electric current?
an electrolyte
Which will conduct electric current aluminum foil sugar or potassium hydroxide dissolved in water?
Aluminium foil and potassium hydroxide in water solution are conductors.
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
because of the gravity or Magnetricity
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
because when the ions can move around freely, they can conduct electricity better
Can ionic compounds conduct electric current when melted?
Yes, ionic compounds can only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.
Why do ionics compounds dissolved in water conduct an electric current?
When an ionic compound dissolves in water there are free ions which move and carry electric current.
How are acids that have been dissolved in water able to conduct an electric current?
i don't know ( In the book )
Will sugar dissolved in water conduct electric currant?
Yes, it will conduct electric current much better than plain water. The sugar molecules in water form a clear solution by ionization facilitating the path of electrons of electric current.
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the solid phase liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid plase?
In solid state the ions are packed very tightly, so ions are not free to move, therefore no conduction.
Is aluminium the best insulator?
Aluminum will conduct both electric current and heat, so it would be a bad insulator of either.
Does iodine conduct electric current?
no,
What can conduct an electric current?
an ionic compound
