How can one determine if a substance is an electrolyte?
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.
Why can ionic compounds in solution conduct electric current?
Ionic compounds in solution can conduct electric current because the ions are free to move and carry electric charge. When an ionic compound dissolves in water, it dissociates into its constituent ions, which are then able to move and carry the electric current.
Why ionic substances do not conduct electricity as solid but when molten state?
Ionic substances do not conduct electricity as solids because the ions are locked in place and cannot move to carry the electric current. However, when the ionic substance is melted, the ions are free to move and carry the charge, allowing the substance to conduct electricity.
Acids conduct electric current by forming?
Im not really sure? If i was asking why would i put the answer
Why don't covalent molecular compounds conduct electricity?
Covalent substances do not conduct electricity because they are sharing electrons, hence they are in a fixed position and are not able to move around and contribute to movement of the electric current.
In order to conduct an electric current a substance must contain a what?
It should contain some IONS, or charged particles.
What is A substance that conducts an electric current in solution?
A substance that dissolves in solution to conduct an electrical current is an "electrolyte" or, less commonly, an "ionogen".
Which substance can not conduct electricity?
One substance that cannot conduct electricity is nonmetals in solid state, such as plastic and rubber, as they have very few free electrons available to carry an electric current.
Why ionic sustances can conduct electricity?
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).
Does iodine conduct electric current?
no,
What is the measure of how well an electric current can move through a substance?
The measure of how well an electric current can move through a substance is called electrical conductivity. It is determined by the substance's ability to conduct electricity based on the movement of negatively charged electrons. Materials like metals have high conductivity, while insulators have low conductivity.
What can conduct an electric current?
an ionic compound
Does water conduct an electric current?
Yes it does.
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
What is a electrcial conductor?
"A substance which allows electric current to pass through it is called a electric conductor". Or, "A substance which has free electrons is called electric conductor." There are some exceptions to these two statements: viz. diodes and triodes, which conduct under special conditions but not under all conditions.
How can one determine if a substance is an electrolyte?
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.
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.)
