∙ 9y agoPotassium is not magnetic, but it is a good conductor of heat and electricity. It is very reactive and can even catch on fire when immersed in water.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agopotassium conducts both heat and electricity as it is a metal and all metals have free electrons that can move throughout the metal enabling it to conduct electricity
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoIt is a metal in its pure form, so yes. It is ~22% as conductive as silver.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoPotassium, K, is an alkali metal, so yes, it is a good conductor of electricity
(alkali metals are the most reactive elements in the periodic table)

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.
Under what condition can potassium bromide conduct electricity?
Potassium Bromide will conduct electricity only when it is melted or dissolved in water
Why potassium iodide can conduct electricity in the molten state but not in solid state?
Potassium Bromide or KBr is not able to conduct electricity in solid state. It is an ionic compound and its ions are not free to move in the solid state, hence they are not able to conduct electricity. But when they are in aqueous state, they are free to move and thus become able to conduct electricity.
How does calcium chloride conduct electricity?
In solid form calcium chloride doesn't conduct electricity, but dissolved in water it conducts electricity quite well.
Why does a solution of potassium chloride conduct electricity?
A solution of potassium chloride in an ionization promotingsolvent such as water conducts electricity because the positive and negative ions in potassium chloride in such a solutionare separated from each other by a sufficient distance that they can move in opposite directions in a electric field imposed on the solution by two (or more) electrodes maintained at a potential difference by means external to the solution.
Why does potassium chloride conduct electricity?
Potassium chloride is an ionic solid, the ionic solids can conduct the electricity if they are in molten state or in aqueous solution.
Why does potassium chloride conduct electricity in aqueous solution?
its depends in the amount of potassium chloride.
Does potassium choloride conduct electrisity?
When it's in a solid form no but if it is a liquid (when placed in a solution) then yes it does conduct electricity.
Ions which allow a solution to conduct electricity are known as?
Salts that ionize in water and form solutions that can conduct a current are called electrolyte.example: sodium chloride,potassium chloride.
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.
Why does potassium chloride start to conduct when it is melted?
when melted KCl breaks into K+ and Cl- ions,which help in conducting electricity.
Under what condition can potassium bromide conduct electricity?
Potassium Bromide will conduct electricity only when it is melted or dissolved in water

Does calcium chloride conduct electricity?
no
Can solid sodium chloride conduct elcetricity?
