An Ionic Compund
An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in water. To determine if a substance is an electrolyte, you can test its ability to conduct electricity in a solution. If the substance allows electric current to flow through the solution, it is likely an electrolyte.
The substance is ionic. In solid form it will not conduct as the ions are not free to move. If molten or in solution then the ions are free to move therefore they can complete a circuit and conduct electricty. E.g. salts, acids, alkalis.
All types of covalent compounds are not very good conductors of electricity. However, ionic compounds in their molten state and metallic substances are very good conductors of electricity.
Salt (sodium chloride) dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride) in water, allowing it to conduct electricity. Vetsin (monosodium glutamate) likely contains ions that can also dissociate in water, enabling it to conduct electricity in a solution.
The material is most likely a nonmetal. Nonmetals are typically nonmagnetic, can be found in gaseous form, and do not conduct heat or electricity well. They often react with other elements to form compounds.
Sodium chloride, NaCl, for example is of neutral pH and conductive in solution or in molten state. It is a salt.

Planets themselves probably do not conduct electricity, although it is likely that most planets do contain some conductive materials. The vast majority of the matter on the Earth does not conduct electricity very well, although large deposits of iron, silver, gold and copper all _DO_ conduct electricity.
Copper is the element that is most likely to conduct heat and electricity due to its high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity properties.
No, I wouldn't. It is more like a insulator, not a conductor. Silver conducts electricity the best. If a current were put through cardboard, it would most likely catch on fire, not conduct electricity.
Salt (sodium chloride) dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride) in water, allowing it to conduct electricity. Vetsin (monosodium glutamate) likely contains ions that can also dissociate in water, enabling it to conduct electricity in a solution.
Because it has a high water content (a good conductor), it most likely does to some extent.
Metals lose electrons to form cations. These ions help in conducting electricity.
The material is most likely a nonmetal. Nonmetals are typically nonmagnetic, can be found in gaseous form, and do not conduct heat or electricity well. They often react with other elements to form compounds.
The mystery substance is likely an acidic solution, as indicated by its sour taste and pH of 3. Substances with a low pH are typically acids, which can release hydrogen ions (H⁺) in solution, contributing to their sour flavor. The ability to conduct electricity suggests the presence of ions, further supporting the idea that it is an ionic solution, possibly a strong acid like hydrochloric acid (HCl).
