potassium atom has a bigger atomic radius and its valence electron located at 4th shell with more shielding effect so lower ionization energy required so more free electrons so better conductivity for electricity

Is potassium hydroxide a good conductor of electricity?
Yes
Is calcium chloride a good conductor of electricity?
It is a good conductor when melted or dissolved in water, but not when solid. This is because it is an electrolytic conductor, and can only carry electricity when its ions are free to move.
Is potasium chloride a good conductor of electricity?
When dissolved in water it is an excellent conductor. In solid form it isn't.
Is aqueous sodium chloride is a good conductor of electric current?
Yes, aqueous sodium chloride solution is a good conductor of electricity. Since, it is an ionic salt, when dissolved in water it dissociates into ions and thus the free ions conduct electricity.
Is lampblack good conductor of electricity?
Yes, it is a good conductor of electricity.
Is KCL(s) a good conductor of electricity?
yes KCl of potassium chloride is a good conductor of electricty, but ONLY when in an aqueous (water solution) or in molten (fused) state. It doesnot conduct in solid state.
Is potassium hydroxide a good conductor of electricity?
Yes
Is NaCl a good conductor?
Sodium chloride is an electrolyte only in water solutions or when is melted. Solid sodium chloride is not a conductor of electricity.
Does Potassium chloride conduct electricity?
Potassiul does have the ability to conduct electricity but only in certain forms
Does sodium chloride produce an electrical current?
Sodium chloride in solution or melted is a good conductor of electricity; but sodium chloride doesn't produce electricity.
Is calcium chloride a good conductor of electricity?
It is a good conductor when melted or dissolved in water, but not when solid. This is because it is an electrolytic conductor, and can only carry electricity when its ions are free to move.
Is dry solid sodium chloride a conductivity of electricity?
Not positive, but fairly sure that solid sodium chloride is not a conductor. Molten sodium chloride is a good conductor.
Is potasium chloride a good conductor of electricity?
When dissolved in water it is an excellent conductor. In solid form it isn't.
Is aqueous sodium chloride is a good conductor of electric current?
Yes, aqueous sodium chloride solution is a good conductor of electricity. Since, it is an ionic salt, when dissolved in water it dissociates into ions and thus the free ions conduct electricity.
Is salt a conductor or an insulator?
salt water is a good conductor of electricity as it contains sodium and chloride ions to carry out current
Is Salt Water an insulator or a conductor?
salt water is a good conductor of electricity as it contains sodium and chloride ions to carry out current
Why pure sodium chloride a non-conductor but when dissolved in water it is a good conductor of electricity?
They conduct better because then they break up into ions
