Ammonia is a gas.

Gases do conduct electricity, as all materials do. However, they conduct electricity so poorly that we consider them insulators.

"Electricity" requires the movement of electrons. In a gas, these electrons are too dispersed to provided any measurable current.

How does NH4OH solution conduct electricity?

Ammonia in solution forms ions.


Why cant liquid ammonia conduct electricity unlike aqueous ammonia?

In liquid NH3 there are zero ions to 'transport' charge. In ammonia (NH3 solution in water) there are some (1%) positve NH4+ and negative OH- ions to do so.


Is ammonia a good conductor of electricity?

Yes, it is. It is a good conductor of electricity because it is a good electrolyte. The reason is because it is a strong base.


Why is liquid ammonia a non electrolyte but aqueous ammonia an electrolyte?

For the conduction of electricity, the conducting species must be charged either +ve or -Ve. In case of liquid ammonia all molecule are in NH3 form i.e. neutral so it is non electrolyte but it's aqueous solution is get dissociate as NH3 + H2O = (NH4)+ + (OH)- this ammonium and hydroxyl ions are available for conduction of current!


Does ammonium nitrate conduct electricity?

Ammonia is a gas. Gases do conduct electricity, as all materials do. However, they conduct electricity so poorly that we consider them insulators. "Electricity" requires the movement of electrons. In a gas, these electrons are too dispersed to provided any measurable current. So it does conduct electricity and heat, however conducts them both very poorly ;')


Does camphor conduct electricity?

No, camphor does not conduct electricity. It is a type of organic compound, so it cannot ionize to conduct electricity.


Is ammonia an electrolyte?

Yes, ammonia can act as a weak electrolyte when dissolved in water. It can partially dissociate into ammonium ions (NH4+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution, allowing it to conduct electricity to a limited extent.


Is ammonia an electrolyte or non electrolyte?

Ammonia in water is an electrolyte. It forms ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH), which is a base, and basic solutions are electrolytic.


Does ammonia gas use electricity?

People use electricity; inanimate objects or substances (such as ammonia) don't.


What solution is form by dissolving ammonia gas in methylbenzene?

When ammonia gas is dissolved in methylbenzene, a solution of ammonium methylbenzenesulfonate is formed. This compound is a salt resulting from the reaction between ammonia and methylbenzene under certain conditions.
