Solid state of any matter is assumed to be best conductor. But still its conductivity is not perfect. So, any conducting matter to become a perfect conductor must be cooled to extremely low temperatures to increase its conductivity and that state is known as super conductivity and the matter is known as superconductor.
What else can I help you with?
In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in solution, as their ions are free to move and carry electrical charge. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity in any state, as they do not have free-moving ions or electrons.
Does potassium bromide conduct electricity when in molten state?
Yes, potassium bromide does conduct electricity when in a molten state. This is because the ions in the molten potassium bromide are free to move and carry electric charge, allowing it to conduct electricity.
Why can ionic compounds conduct electricity but molecular compounds usually can not?
Ionic compounds can conduct electricity because the ions in the solid state can move and carry electric charge. In contrast, molecular compounds usually do not conduct electricity because they do not dissociate into ions in solution or in the solid state, resulting in no free charge carriers to conduct electricity.
Do materials with ionic bonds conduct electricity in a solid and liquid state?
Materials with ionic bonds normally conduct electricity only in a liquid state. However metals, which have what are sometimes called "delocalized" ionic bonds, also conduct electricity in the solid state. It is now customary to consider metallic bonds a separate class from both ionic and covalent bonds.
Why potassium chloride does nit conduct electricity in its solid state but is a good conductor in its molten state?
In its solid state, potassium chloride exists as a crystalline lattice with fixed positions for ions, making it unable to conduct electricity. When melted, the ions are free to move and carry electric charge, allowing potassium chloride to conduct electricity in its molten state.
Can water conduct electricity in solid state?
No. Water can only conduct electricity in its liquid state with dissolved ionic solutes.
In what state does NaCl conduct electricity?
NaCl can conduct electricity in the molten state, and when dissociated into its constituent ions in water, Na2+ and Cl-.
Does potassuim hydroxide conduct electricity?
Not in its standard solid state. But it will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in solution, as their ions are free to move and carry electrical charge. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity in any state, as they do not have free-moving ions or electrons.
Can diamond conduct electricity at its solid state?
No, diamond is an insulator and does not conduct electricity in its solid state. This is because it does not have free electrons to carry an electric current.
Can ethanoic acid conduct electricity in molten state?
I didn't know electricity had a molten state...
Does potassium bromide conduct electricity when in molten state?
Yes, potassium bromide does conduct electricity when in a molten state. This is because the ions in the molten potassium bromide are free to move and carry electric charge, allowing it to conduct electricity.
What states can conduct electricity?
If your talking about state, like as in states of matter, then electricity has none. Electricity is not matter, so it can not have a state.
Why doesn't sugar and wax conduct electricity?
because wax does not have free electrons hence can not conduct electricity in solid state
Can rusty nails conduct electricity?
Yes, A Rusted Nail can conduct Electricity because every element has some free Electrons in it, and remember, free electrons always conduct Electricity. --Dhruv
Does Caesium Chloride Conduct Electricity?
Cesium Chloride can only conduct electricity in water or while molten. Once cesium chloride is in a solid state it will not conduct electricity.
Why potassium iodide can conduct electricity in the molten state but not in solid state?
Potassium Bromide or KBr is not able to conduct electricity in solid state. It is an ionic compound and its ions are not free to move in the solid state, hence they are not able to conduct electricity. But when they are in aqueous state, they are free to move and thus become able to conduct electricity.
