Are molten covalent compounds better conductors than molten ionic compounds?
Almost all molten covalent compounds are much worseconductors than almost any molten ionic compounds. However, note that some ionic compounds contain covalently bonded polyatomic ions, and many of these can conduct electricity as well as most other ions in a melt.
Are acidic solutions good or poor conductors of electricity?
Strong acids in solution are better conductors than weak acids in solution, and both are better than pure water.
Strong acids are good conductors of?
Electricity this is true
Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
Some nonmetallic materials are good conductors, graphite being an example. In this form, it is considered a semi-metal for that reason. Normally, however, nonmetals are not good electrical conductors.
Does solid silver conduct electricity?
All metals do. Silver is one of the best conductors - better than copper in fact.
Metals are conductors of heat and electricity?
Yes, but some metals are better conductors than others.
Good conductors of electricity are often good conductors of heat?
Generally speaking, materials that are good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. But there is a notable exception. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, conducts heat better than any metal, but it is an electrical insulator.
Will titanuim conduct electricity?
Yes, although there are better conductors of electricity, titanium is still a good conductor.
Why are metals better conductors than ceramics?
Metals are better conductors than ceramics because they have a large number of loose electrons. Electricity has loose electrons.
Are molten covalent compounds better conductors than molten ionic compounds?

Does zucchini conduct electricity?
Not well. Zucchinis make better pies than conductors.
Is salt water a better conductor of electricity than aluminum foil and brass?
YES Metals are better conductors !
Are acidic solutions good or poor conductors of electricity?
Strong acids in solution are better conductors than weak acids in solution, and both are better than pure water.
What chemical would dissolve best in water?
Polar compounds are dissolved better in water.
Why are some kinds of metals conductors of electricity and some are not?
All metals can conduct electricity, though some better than others.
Is brass a non conductive material?
No, it will conduct electricity. It contains copper, one of the better conductors.
Strong acids are good conductors of?
Electricity this is true
