How do ionic substances conduct electricity when melted or dissolved?
Ionic substances consist of cations with high effective nuclear charge (positively charged ions) and anions with low effective nuclear charges (negatively charged ions), this causes all the electrons in the sigma bond to be pulled towards the cation. This results in a negatively charged cation and a positively charged anion. Once melted these ions are free to move about. As electricity is defined as a flow of charge, and these charged ions are free to flow about, the resultant melted substance will conduct electricity. SIMPLE, when solid, ionic substances are held together very tightly, so electrons can not move. BUT, when as molten/liquid/aqueaus the bonds slacks and the electrons are FREE to move!! Therefore conducting electricity... ^_^ "hope this helps!!!"
What state of matter consisting of high temp gas with balanced positively and negatively charged particles?
A mixture of free-moving ions and electrons is called a plasma.
What is the difference between hydroxyl ion and hydroxyl free radical?
The free radical has an an unpaired electron (example OH.); the ion gain an electron to avoid the situation of an unpaired electron (example OH-).
Does BrO3- have a free radical?
BrO3- is the anion bromate, not a free radical.
Is O3 a free radical?
O3 is ozone and is not a free radical. It may; however, produce free radicals.
Does SN2 reaction occur through free radical mechanism?
No, it is ionic in nature because a nucleophile (negatively charged) attacks on electrophilic (partially positively charged) carbon atom
If one body is positively charged and another one is negatively charged free electrons tend to?
Remain in the positively charged body.
If one body is positively charged and another body is negatively charged what do free electrons tend to do?
Free electrons tend to move away from the negatively-charged body and toward the positively-charged body.They will transfer to the positively charged body in an attempt to create a neutral charge.Move from the negatively charged body to the positively charged body.move from the negatively charged body to the positively charged body!-----------I just finished the Penn Foster test, and the answers for a 100 are (from left to right):A D CA C BD B CC D DD C CA B DC A BD A C Byou actually had two of the answers mixed up but i fixed them--after i got them wrong on my test. so now its 100%
Is metallic bonding an attraction of positive and negative ions?
Metallic bonding is the attraction between positively charged metal ions and free (negatively charged) electrons.
Why does a wire that carries an electric current not become electrically charged?
To become electrically charged, a conductor must either have an excess of electrons (negatively charged) or a deficiency of electrons (positively charged). For every free electron moving around in a current-carrying conductor, there is a corresponding proton within the fixed atoms, so the conductor is neither negatively- nor positively-charged, but neutral.
Is a radical electrically charged?
Free radicals are practically positive ions.
Why do some charged objects pull each other while other charged objects push each other?
The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.
Why must a sphere rod and leaves of an electroscope be a conductor?
When a negatively charged rod touches the sphere of the electroscope, negative sharge spreads throughout the metal. Since the leaves are both negatively charged, the free ends repel and move away from each other. When a positvely rod touchs the sphere, negative charges move toward the sphere, causing the leaves to be positively charged. hope this helps :)
How a charged rod placed near an uncharged metal object can repel?
Charged rod and an uncharged metal object attract each other because free electrons in metal are either attracted or repelled by the charged rod. If the rod is positively charged then free electrons are attracted towards it and both objects attract each other. If the rod is negatively charged then free electrons are repelled by it and positive ions are attracted by the rod and both objects attract each other.

The state with positively charged atoms energized so that some break free of the nucleus but still move with it is called?
The state with positively charged atoms energized so that some break free of the nucleus is called the excited state. The opposite of an excited state is ground state.
