No, Benzene does not conduct electricity. Contrary to graphite which has a delocalized pi electron which enables current to pass, benzene's dolocalized pi electron cloud is in the benzene ring, and is unable to partake in any electrical conductivity activity.

Does covalent substances conduct electricity in benzene?

Benzene is nonpolar and thus will only dissolve nonpolar substances. Covalent substances is vague, but even if benzene were to dissolve nonpolar solutes, they would not conduct electricity because the current has no ions or delocalized electrons to travel across.


Explain why a solution of HCl in benzene does not conduct electricity but in water it does?

In a solution of HCL and water, H20 has stronger polar bonds toward HCL causing it to disassociate into H+ and Cl- Ions. Benzene doesnt have those types of polar bonds so HCL doesnt dissolve as readily. (salt and water1 vs. oil and water2.)(the second water acting as benzene would.)


Is benzene an electrolyte in an aqueous solution?

Benzene, being a covalent compound is not soluble in water. So a solution of benzene in water is absurd. However in answering your question I would say that, as benzene is not soluble in water it does not function as an electrolyte. Some more improvement would be that benzene itself is not an electrolyte.


Is a reactive liquid it does not conduct electricity with valency 1 in its compound?

The liquid could be a nonpolar substance like oil or a symmetrical molecule like benzene, which do not dissociate into ions to conduct electricity. Examples of compounds with valency 1 include hydrogen (H), sodium (Na), and chlorine (Cl).


Does camphor conduct electricity?

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


What kind of solutions don't conduct electricity?

One solution that will not conduct electricity is pure water. The reason is that it needs a dissociated ionic compound that can mix with water when detached, and then it will be unable to conduct.
