Why does molten sodium chloride will conduct electricity?
No, it is not. 'Solid sodium chloride doesn't conduct electricity, because there are no electrons which are free to move.' http://www.chemguide.co.uk/atoms/structures/ionicstruct.html
Can iodine conduct electricity?
Iodine is covalent so it does not conduct electricity in a solid, however it will conduct in a liquid or molten state. The reason why it cannot conduct in a solid is that electrons cannot move freely through it.
Why molten sulfur can't conduct electricity but molten copper chloride can?
The element copper can conduct electricity. These are two completely different chemical substances.
Why does molten sodium hydride conduct electricity?

Does Caesium Chloride Conduct Electricity?
Cesium Chloride can only conduct electricity in water or while molten. Once cesium chloride is in a solid state it will not conduct electricity.
In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Does covalent substances conduct electricity when molten?
No because covalent bonds do not contain ions. (as you know electricity its a flow of charges/ions.) Therefore covlalent bonds, no matter in what state, cannot conduct electricity No because covalent bonds do not contain ions. (as you know electricity its a flow of charges/ions.) Therefore covlalent bonds, no matter in what state, cannot conduct electricity
Does SCl2 conduct electricity?
no because its a covalent compound, it undergoes covalent bonding. if it was a metallic or ionic then it would conduct when molten or in aqueous state. the only element that undergoes a covalent bonding and conducts electricity is graphite, no other element or allotrope conducts.
Does molten sugar conduct electricity?
It does not conduct electricity
Do ionic compound's or covalent molecole's conduct electicity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in aqueous solution or molten state. In aq. soln. or molten state, ionic compounds dissociate to release respective ions. These ions, being electrically charged, conduct electricity.
Out of ionic pure covalent metallic and polar covalent which is most likely to conduct electricity?
All types of covalent compounds are not very good conductors of electricity. However, ionic compounds in their molten state and metallic substances are very good conductors of electricity.
Why does molten sodium chloride will conduct electricity?
No, it is not. 'Solid sodium chloride doesn't conduct electricity, because there are no electrons which are free to move.' http://www.chemguide.co.uk/atoms/structures/ionicstruct.html
What type of compound ionic or covalent will conduct electricity and dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds generally dissolve in water dissociating to give ions that are free to move and conduct electricity. Molten ionic compounds also have free ions and conduct electricity. Ionic compounds generally do not conduct electricity in the solid form.
Can ethanoic acid conduct electricity in molten state?
I didn't know electricity had a molten state...
Why ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are in molten state?
a molten one
Why sodium chloride will conduct electricity when molten?
Beacause they consist of free ions which conduct electricity
Can iodine conduct electricity?
Iodine is covalent so it does not conduct electricity in a solid, however it will conduct in a liquid or molten state. The reason why it cannot conduct in a solid is that electrons cannot move freely through it.
