All substances conduct. Some conduct electrons "one per minute" for a given geometry, and others many multiples of ten times as many electrons in the same unit time for the same geometry.
If the substance contributes electrons to a "general pool" of free electrons as if forms the state it is in, then those electrons can be "circulated" much more easily (conductor). If the electron has to be liberated by thermal or electrical fields from a strong chemical bond, then currents will be very much smaller (insulator, semi-conductor).

Why ionic substances do not conduct electricity as solid but when molten state?
Ionic substances do not conduct electricity as solids because the ions are locked in place and cannot move to carry the electric current. However, when the ionic substance is melted, the ions are free to move and carry the charge, allowing the substance to conduct electricity.
What makes characteristic properties useful to scientists?
Characteristic properties are unique to specific substances and remain constant regardless of the sample size or form. This allows scientists to identify and differentiate substances accurately. By relying on these properties, scientists can conduct experiments, make predictions, and draw conclusions based on the consistent behavior of each substance.
Is Hg2I2 an electrolyte?
Yes, Hg2I2 is an electrolyte. When dissolved in water, it dissociates into ions, allowing it to conduct electricity.
Can covalent compounds conduct electricity in water?
Generally, molecular covalent substances do not conduct electricity. Carbon as graphite is the exception. This is because they are neutrally charged; they do not have ions or delocalized electrons as these are being shared by the non-metals. Yet some conduct electricity when dissolved in water. This is because some react with water to produce ions which are attracted to the oppositely charged electrodes.
Why dont ionic compounds not conduct electricity well?
Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity well in their solid state because the ions are locked into a crystal lattice, preventing them from moving and carrying an electric current. However, when ionic compounds are melted or dissolved in water, the ions become free to move and can conduct electricity.

Does metal conduct elecricity?
yes they do. non metals dont conduct elecrisity.
If you can eat any food you choose why are you not allowed to use other substances if you are not harming other people?
so u dont harm yourselfs or others.
Are all dragons carnvore?
ehh.. sorta. some dragons dont eat while others do
Does hydrogen conduct thermal energy?
i dont no
Why do substances sublime while others do not?
Substances sublime when they transition directly from a solid to a gas phase without passing through the liquid phase due to their specific molecular structure and intermolecular forces. Substances that do not sublime might have stronger intermolecular forces that prevent the solid from breaking apart into individual molecules to form a gas phase.
Why do some plants smell while others dont?
Don't be a kunt and please tell what type of plants you are on about.
