Which Substance When Dissolved in Water will Conduct an Electrical Current?
These are the ionic substances.
Which compound BaF2 or CO2 would conduct the larger electrical current when dissolved in water and why?
This compound is carbon dioxide; barium fluoride has a very low solubility in water.
Are substances which when dissolved in water will not conduct an electric current?
An insulator is the general term for things that do not conduct electricity. Rubber is a good example. Glass, paper and teflon are also other good examples of insulators. It is too broad to point out a specific type. I would have been inclined to say a polymer, (i.e. plastics) but conducting polymers have very popular use as conductors.
Can ionic compounds conduct electric current when melted?
Yes, ionic compounds can only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.
Is an acid or base better at conducting an electrical current?
An acid, as bases are less likely to conduct electrical currents
Which Substance When Dissolved in Water will Conduct an Electrical Current?
These are the ionic substances.
How does the body conduct an electrical current?
The human body is over 70 percent water. The electron transfer that is the fundamental part of an electrical current uses ions dissolved in solution to conduct the electrical current.
What is an electrolyte that is completely dissolved in a solution and still can conduct a sharp electrical current called?
Strong Electrolyte...I think.
What is dissolved in water will conduct an electric current?
an electrolyte
Do substances which dissolve in water conduct an electric current?
Some do. Electrolytes, which are substances that break into ions when dissolved in water, will conduct electricity. Such substances include soluble salts, acids, and bases.Other water soluble substances are non electrolytes and do not break into ions in water, or at least do so in extremely minute amounts. They do not conduct electricity. These include alcohols, sugars, and some other polar compounds.
Which compound BaF2 or CO2 would conduct the larger electrical current when dissolved in water and why?
This compound is carbon dioxide; barium fluoride has a very low solubility in water.
When a metal reacts with a nonmetal are the substances good conductors of electric current?
The product of a metal reacting with a nonmetal is a salt; in solid form these do not conduct electricity well, but dissolved in water they do.

Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
because of the gravity or Magnetricity
What is the term for chassis earth?
