Answer (1)
Neon, being a noble gas, is very unreactive, forming no stable chemical compounds. Also, under normal circumstances, just like any other gas, it does not conduct electricity. However, if the voltage (ie the force behind the electricity - called the electromotive force) is high enough, gases will conduct. A good example of this is when lightning passes through the air. The voltages involved have to run into the hundreds of thousands or millions, and under these conditions the electricity passes through the air causing the atoms to ionise (split into charged particles called ions and free electrons) and creating the characteristic blue/white flash as the lightning strikes. Neon behaves in the same way, so if a high voltage is applied, it will conduct, ionising in the same way as air in a lightning strike. The colour obtained from neon, however, is not bluish white but red. This pheomenon is put to good use in neon discharge tubes where a high voltage is applied and the neon in them (under reduced pressure) conducts. These 'neon signs' are used extensively in advertising lights where a bright red glow is needed.

It is the gas used in neon lights.
These are glass tubes that have electrical terminals at both ends, and neon gas in the tube.
When a high electrical voltage is applied to the terminals an electrical current flows through the tube of neon gas. The electrical current knocks electrons from the neon gas molecules, creating what are known as ions. When these moving electrons recombine with other ions in the tube different lighting effects are created.
Yes, zinc is a good conductor of electricity. It is commonly used in batteries and other electrical applications due to its ability to conduct electricity efficiently.
Indium is a good conductor of electricity. It is often used in electronics and certain types of electrical components due to its high electrical conductivity.
Neon and other noble gases require a high voltage to conduct electricity, so that normally current will not flow across them. However, a direct lightning strike (such as on a radio tower antenna) will cause the neon to arc and conduct the massive amount of electricity to the ground, protecting transmitters and other equipment.
No, methanol does not conduct electricity. It does not conduct electricity because it is a non-electrolyte molecule. Sugar also is non-electrolyte, therefore it also does not conduct electricity.
Sodium oxide is an insulator because its atoms are held together by ionic bonds, which means that the electrons are tightly bound to the atoms and cannot move freely to conduct electricity. In order for a material to conduct electricity, it needs to have free moving electrons, which is not the case for sodium oxide.
The ability to conduct electricity is a property of a conductor.
The ability to conduct heat or electricity is acutally called conductivity.
pure water does not conduct electricity. the presence of electrolytes in the water is what conducts electricity. the equation for the conductivity (ability to conduct electricity) Conductance = 1/ resistance
Metalloids have an intermediate ability to conduct heat and electricity, falling between metals and nonmetals. They have some metallic properties, such as being able to conduct electricity to some extent, but not as effectively as pure metals. Their ability to conduct heat and electricity can vary depending on the specific metalloid.
of course

no
no
Similar ability to conduct electricity.
A strong electrolyte fully dissociates into ions in solution, allowing it to conduct electricity well. A weak electrolyte only partially dissociates, limiting its ability to conduct electricity.
electricity
That describes a conductor.
