Yes. Metallic copper is one of the best of all conductors in solid form and therefore is commonly used for electrical wiring.

Does copper sulfate conduct electricity?

Copper sulphate can conduct electricity. However, this will only happen when it is in liquid or gaseous state but not in solid form.


Does calcium choride conduct electricity when a solid?

No, like most ionic compounds it does not.


Why copper can conduct elevtricity when solid or liquid but copperII sulphate can only conduct electricity if molten or aqueous?

Copper atoms have mobile electrons that can flow freely to conduct electricity in solid or liquid form. In copper(II) sulfate, the copper atoms are already bonded to sulfate ions, limiting the movement of electrons. When the compound is melted or dissolved in water, the copper atoms can dissociate from the sulfate ions, allowing for the flow of charged particles and therefore conducting electricity.


Can nickel chloride conduct electricity and is it a liqiuid or a solid?

Fully Solid in room temperature!


Is copper chloride conduct electricity?

Yes, copper chloride does conduct electricity when dissolved in water or in molten form. In these states, the copper ions and chloride ions are free to move and carry electric charge.


Is iodine a conductor?

No solid iodine does not conduct electricity.


Why does salt not conduct electricity?

Salts in solid form will not conduct electricity as the ions cannot be in motion. However when salts are dissolved in aqueous medium (to form solution), they will conduct electricity. Also salts conduct electricity in molten (or fused) state.


How does calcium chloride conduct electricity?

Calcium chloride in solid form does not conduct electricity because it consists of ions that are not free to move. However, when dissolved in water, calcium chloride dissociates into calcium and chloride ions, allowing them to move freely and conduct electricity.


Does Calcium dichloride conduct electricity?

Not in solid form, apparently! No free electrons.


Will CaO conduct electricity?

No, CaO (calcium oxide) is an ionic compound that does not conduct electricity in its solid form. It only conducts electricity when dissolved in water or melted to form a liquid state.


Does sugar in solid form conduct electricity?

No, sugar in solid form does not conduct electricity because it does not contain free ions or electrons to facilitate the flow of electric current. Sugar is a non-electrolyte, meaning it does not ionize in water to produce charged particles needed for conducting electricity.


Can sucrose conduct electricity as a solid or in-solution?

Sucrose can not conduct significant electric currents in either solid form or in solution in water, because sucrose does not contain ions in its solid form and does not ionize when it dissolves in water.
