do not break up into ions.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Why don't covalent molecular compounds conduct electricity?
Covalent substances do not conduct electricity because they are sharing electrons, hence they are in a fixed position and are not able to move around and contribute to movement of the electric current.
Molecular compuonds that dissolve in water do not conduct electricity because no charged ions present?
That's correct. Molecular compounds do not dissociate into ions in solution, so they do not conduct electricity as there are no free charged particles to carry the current.
Do ionic compounds and molecular compounds behave similarly when they are dissolved?
Ionic compounds eg NaCl yield ions when dissolved in water, NaCl (in water) -> Na positive ions and negative Cl ions. Ions have electrical charges & conduct electricity. All compounds are "molecular", ie they are made up of more than one atom in combination. Some molecules are not ionic, eg common sugar, and when they are dissolved in water they do not yield ions and do not conduct electricity.
Describe properties that would help you to distinguish an ionic compound from a molecular compound.?
Ionic compounds typically have higher melting and boiling points compared to molecular compounds due to the strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions. Ionic compounds are typically soluble in water and conduct electricity when dissolved or in molten state, whereas molecular compounds are often insoluble in water and do not conduct electricity in any state.

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.
Molecular compounds do not conduct electricity because they?
do not break up into ions.
What are the properties of molecular compound?
Molecular compounds generally do not conduct electricity and have low melting points.
Why don't molecular compounds dissolved in water conduct electricity?
There are no ions present
Which is a property shares by most molecular compounds?
Most molecular compounds have a low melting point. They also typically don't conduct electricity.

Molecular compounds that dissolve in water do not conduct electricity because no?
They do not conduct electricity because they do not dissociate into ions in water to carry an electric charge. Ionic compounds, on the other hand, dissociate into ions in water and can conduct electricity.

What are some properties that would help distinguish a ionic compound from a molecular compound?
Ionic compounds typically have higher melting and boiling points compared to molecular compounds, due to the strong electrostatic forces between ions in the crystal lattice. Ionic compounds also tend to conduct electricity when dissolved in water or in molten state, while molecular compounds do not conduct electricity in either state. Additionally, ionic compounds are often composed of a metal and a nonmetal, whereas molecular compounds are composed of nonmetals.
