i don't know, that's what i need to work out.
I also don't know, bloody homework
It has 12 letters, starts with E and ends with S
After several hours of reading through dictionaries, browsing web pages and unfolding our brains me and my team of expert researchers came to the conclusion that the term we where looking for is....
Electrolysis
What else can I help you with?
What generalizations can you make about a substance that is soluble in water and conducts electricity once it has dissolved?
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.
Which compound conducts electricity only in the molten state?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity only in the molten state because the ions are free to move and carry electric charge. When an ionic compound is in a solid state, the ions are locked in place and cannot conduct electricity.
Is an electrolyte an ionic compound?
Yes, an electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in water or melted. Typically, electrolytes are ionic compounds that dissociate into ions in solution.
What substance conducts electricity in aqueous state but not in solid state?
One example of a substance that conducts electricity in its aqueous state but not in its solid state is sulfuric acid. In its aqueous state, sulfuric acid ionizes into ions that are able to carry an electric current, whereas in its solid state it does not have the mobility of ions to conduct electricity.
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.
What compound conducts electricity molten state?
ionic compounds
Why can molten ionic crystal act as an electrolyte?
Because when an ionic substance is molten its ions are free to move around.
What melts at a high temperature conducts electricity and splits up when current is passed through it?
A substance that melts at a high temperature, conducts electricity, and decomposes when an electric current is passed through it is typically an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride (table salt) when in its molten state. In its solid form, it does not conduct electricity, but when melted, the ions are free to move, allowing electrical conductivity. Upon electrolysis, the compound can split into its constituent elements.

Is barium nitrate a solid?
Yes. Barium nitrate is a crystaline solid as the several ionic materials. This substance decomposes at 590ºC.
Which compound conducts electricity only in the molten state?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity only in the molten state because the ions are free to move and carry electric charge. When an ionic compound is in a solid state, the ions are locked in place and cannot conduct electricity.
Is an electrolyte an ionic compound?
Yes, an electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in water or melted. Typically, electrolytes are ionic compounds that dissociate into ions in solution.
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".
What substance conducts electricity in aqueous state but not in solid state?
One example of a substance that conducts electricity in its aqueous state but not in its solid state is sulfuric acid. In its aqueous state, sulfuric acid ionizes into ions that are able to carry an electric current, whereas in its solid state it does not have the mobility of ions to conduct electricity.
If a substance is water soluble its solution conducts and it is hard-what kind of bonding is it?
The substance likely forms ionic bonds because ionic compounds are typically water-soluble, conductive in solution, and can form hard structures. These bonds form between a metal and a non-metal, resulting in the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
Is bicarbonate a solid?
Yes, it is solid at room temperature and has a melting point of 270oC (decomposes).
What is a substance that conducts an electric current when dissolved in water or when melted?
An example of a substance that conducts an electric current when dissolved in water or when melted is an ionic compound such as table salt (sodium chloride). Ionic compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved in water or melted, allowing charged particles to move and carry an electric current.
