In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Can ionic compounds conduct electric current when melted?
Yes, ionic compounds can only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.
A white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it is dissolved in water Which type of bond does this salt contain?
Ionic. When melted or dissolved in water, the geometric structure is destroyed and ions move freely. This free movement permits the substance to conduct electricity.
A substance that does not conduct electricity as a solid but does conduct electricity when melted is most likely classified as?
An Ionic Compund
Why can ionic substances conduct electricity when melted?
Molten ionic compounds form a liquid that contains positive and negative ions and these conduct electricity. Cations move to the cathode, anions to anode. Not that someionic compounds decompose when melted.
Under what condition can potassium bromide conduct electricity?
Potassium Bromide will conduct electricity only when it is melted or dissolved in water
What do you call compounds that conduct electricity when dissolved or melted?
Electrolytes
In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Can ionic compounds conduct electric current when melted?
Yes, ionic compounds can only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.
Does salt coduct electricity when melted?
Salt does conduct electricity when melted.
What does table salt have to dissolved in to be able to conduct electricity?
Table salt does not absolutely have to be dissolved in any solvent to conduct electricity, because it will do so if melted. The solvent if present must be one in which the salt ionizes, with water being the most common example.
A white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it is dissolved in water Which type of bond does this salt contain?
Ionic. When melted or dissolved in water, the geometric structure is destroyed and ions move freely. This free movement permits the substance to conduct electricity.
Does sodium bromide conduct electricity?
Sodium bromide is an ionic substance. It conducts electricity when melted or when dissolved in water. This is due to the sodium, Na+ ions and the Br- ions present. It does not conduct electricity in the solid state as the ions can not move.
Will melted butter conduct electricity?
no
When can an ionic compound conduct electricity?
An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.
How acids and salts conduct electricity?
They conduct electricity only if they are electrolytes: in water solutions or when they are melted.
Does melted NaC2H3O2 conduct electricity?
yes.
