In the liquid phase (or dissolved in water), ions are able to move. That is what's necessary for electricity to flow in the body of an ionic compound. In the solid phase all those atoms are locked in position in the crystal. This is why the electrolysis of NaCl requires it to be molten (liquefied) first before it can conduct electricity.
Solid crystals of ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are not free to move. When the crystals dissolve in water, the ionic bonds are broken and the ions become free to move, allowing them to carry electric current.
Because ionic crystals contain ions which are arranged compactely by electrovalent force.in solutioon they become free ions because the solvent overcome their attractions so,they conduct electric current
Potassium hydroxide will conduct electric current when dissolved in water due to the presence of ions that allow the flow of electricity. Aluminum foil will not conduct electricity in water as it is a metal and does not dissolve into ions. Sugar is a non-electrolyte and will not conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
Yes, copper sulfate crystals can conduct electricity when dissolved in water because the ions present in the solution are free to carry the electric current. However, solid copper sulfate crystals do not conduct electricity as well because the ions are not free to move.
Ionic crystals conduct electricity when dissolved in water or in the liquid phase because the ions are free to move and carry electrical charge. In the solid phase, the ions are locked in place and cannot move freely to conduct electricity. In contrast, metals conduct in the solid phase due to the mobility of free electrons within the metallic lattice.
because of the gravity or Magnetricity
Magnetricity
because when the ions can move around freely, they can conduct electricity better
