A solution which contains ions is conductive, since the ions are electrically charged and can respond to a voltage. A solution which does not contain ions, but instead has intact molecules (such as sugar, to give a common example) is not very conductive. Of course, water always contains at least a small amount of ions since water itself dissociates into H+ and OH- ions, at least to a slight degree, so water is always at least mildly conductive. There are other solvents and other solutions which are entirely non-conductive.

Which of the following is a characteristic of solid silver?
Characteristics of solid silver are very good thermal and electrical conductivities.
Does copper have a electrical conductivity?
Yes, indeed: one of the highest electrical conductivities of any known substance.
Which of the following elements would be predicted to be the best conductor of electricity?
In metallic form, the best conductor of electricity at normal temperatures is known to be silver, but at sufficiently low temperatures, almost any metal becomes a superconductor, so that under such conditions the conductivities are all equal. In electrolytic conductance in water solutions, hydrogen cations are the best conductors in the sense of the highest specific conductance.Li
Most likely to be the best conductor of electricity?
The best conductor of electricity is gold.AnswerActually, silver is a much better conductor than gold as, indeed, is copper! The conductivities of these metals, expressed in megasiemens per metre, are as follows: silver: 63.0 MS/mcopper: 59.6 MS/mgold: 41.0 MS/m
Why are crystals different colors?
There are different minerals in different crystals which make them different colors. And "imperities"
Does the type of cloth used affect how much heat it holds?
Yes. Different cloths are made of different materials - and different materials have different heat capacities and thermal conductivities.
Is very conductive a chemical or a physical?
Thermal and electrical conductivities are physical properties.
Differences between a channel and a receptor?
factors that influences conductivities of action potential
What are some elements that have a higher thermal conductivities than copper?
silver,gold,all semiconductors

How do you find molar conductivity of nacl at infinite dilution when given molar conductivities at infinite dilution of licl nano3 and lino3?
Molar conductivity = the sum of the ion conductivities of cation and anion at infinite dilution, such that : This behavior was explained by Kohlraushc's law of independent migration of ions. So you can look this law up for further explanation
What is the approriate unit of your math book?
The answer depends on what characteristic you wish to measure: its length, width, mass, temperature, reflectivity (albedo), thermal or electrical conductivities, and so on.
What has the author Malcolm Charles Evert Bell written?
Malcolm Charles Evert Bell has written: 'The thermodynamic properties and electrical conductivities of sulphide-chloride melts' -- subject(s): Sulfides, Chlorides
What has the author James Arthur Wright written?
James Arthur Wright has written: 'In situ measurement of thermal conductivities of rocks' -- subject(s): Conduction, Physics Theses, Heat, Thermistors, Earth temperature
Which properties have all metal in them?
All metals have metallic bonds; also generally metals are more hard than nonmetals, with higher melting and boiling points, with better thermal and electrical conductivities etc.
