Ionic solids bad conductors of electricity?

Ionic solids are generally bad conductors of electricity in their solid state because their ions are held in a fixed position by strong electrostatic forces. However, when ionic solids are melted or dissolved in water, they can conduct electricity due to the mobility of their ions.


What are some solids that can turn into liquids?

Almost all solids will turn into liquid at some temperature.This process is called melting and the temperature at which the solid melts is its melting point.


Can solids evaporate?

Only certain solids evaporate. Most solids melt before evaporating. When a solid turns straight into a gas, it is called sublimation. Examples of substances that sublime include carbon dioxide, iodine, arsenic, and naphthalene.


Can metals be solids liquids or gases?

Metals are almost always solids with high melting points. The exception is Mercury, Hg which is a liquid at room temperature. It is very toxic and appears a silvery globules.All metals except for one are solid at room temperature.The only exception is mercury, which is a liquid.it depends on the temperatureMetal is normally a solid but can be melted to make melted metal, which is a liquid. Metal cannot be evaporated, therefore, it isn't a gas.


Why are ionic solids poor conductors or electricity?

Ionic solids are poor conductors of electricity because the ions in the solid are not free to move and carry an electric charge. In ionic solids, the positive and negative ions are locked into a rigid crystalline lattice and cannot move freely to conduct electricity. Only when the ionic solid is melted or dissolved in water do the ions become mobile and able to conduct electricity.

What have all solids have in common?

All solids have their state in common. They can either be melted into a liquid or evaporated into a gas state.


What is liquefied by heat?

Many powders and solids can be melted (liquefied) by heat. For instance, sugar and butter is often melted in cooking.


Do solids take up the shape of a container?

No. Solids are resistant to changes in both shape and volume.


Why can particles move in melted rock?

In solids the particles are holded strongly.in other words there is a strong force of attraction.when rocks are melted the force of attraction gets weakenedand thus the particles are able to move easily.

Observe and thinkof ways on how you can change these solid?

Generally a solid become a liquid by melting or a gas by sublimation; but not all the solids can be melted.

Is melted butter and irreversible change?

Typically, yes. Butter is a mixture of fat and milk solids. Once melted the fats separate from the milk solids. 'Clarified' butter, or ghee, is the separated butter fat, often used in Indian cooking, as a canning sealer, or as a dip for steamed shellfish. Clarified butter, once separated from the milk solids, does not require refrigeration to keep it from going rancid, however, it must be kept cool to maintain its solidity.


What is done to butter when it is clarified?

Start with unsalted butter. The butter is melted and then allowed to stand for a few minutes. The milk solids settle to the bottom of the pan. You can pour off the clear butter leaving the milk solids behind. Then you have clarified butter.


Why is rock a solid and lava a liquid?

Rocks are solid objects therefore they are solids. Lava is rock that has been melted in to a liquid therefore makeing lava a liquid.


How much does a cubic foot of snow weigh melted?

Melted snow is water. Water, because it is a liquid, is hard to weigh as you normally only weigh solids. Liquids would have to be measured litres or gallons. So the answer to that question would depend on how much snow had actually melted- eg. 12% ice and 78 % is water and 10% is debris caught in the snow as it fell
