yes, salt is a very good conductor. The more salt the better.

This is true^ But potassium iodide is not salt. Sodium chloride is table salt. Potassium iodide is only electrically conductive in certain forms, aqueous for example.

^ you obviously do not know what a salt is. a salt is an ionic compound that results from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. Potassium iodide is a prime example of a salt.

Potassium permanganate is a deep purple crystalline ionic solid, sometimes called Condy's crystals (used as a snake bite antidote; it is a potent oxidant). As a solid, it does not conduct electrons if a voltage is applied, because crystals are isolated with air in between. A single crystal, however, can conduct, if it has sufficient defects. This is beyond a discussion for non-scientists. In solution, water in particular, it will conduct because the solid is a strong electrolyte and is disociated into potassium and permanganate ions. The more concentrated, the better the conduction. But it is not flash - nothing like say solid silver metal.

Does potassium iodide conduct?

no


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.


Why does hydrogen iodide in an aqueous solution conduct an electricity?

Hydrogen iodide is dissociated in water.


Under what condition can potassium bromide conduct electricity?

Potassium Bromide will conduct electricity only when it is melted or dissolved in water


Does pottasium iodide conduct electricity?

Potassium iodide is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds in the solid state do not conduct electricity, because the ions are NOT free to move. They are held in a rigid giant crystalline lattice However, when in the liquid state or in solution, the ions are free to move, and hence conducts electricity, because the rigid giant crystalline lattice has broken down.


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.


Does potassium that is dissolved in water conduct electricity?

Yes. Potassium metal when it reacts with water forms potassium hydroxide which is ionic and therefore conducts electricity. the vast majority of potassium salts are soluble and these conduct as they are ionic.


Can potassium conduct electricity?

sodium bromide can conduct electricity though not in high quantitiesAdded:So does potassium bromide, as all ionic salts do (more or less) 'in solutae'


What is the name of the binary compound formed from pottasium and iodine?

KI or potassium iodide. See the related link for more information.


Is potassium iodide adhesive?

Potassium iodide is not an adhesive.


What is a potassium iodide?

Potassium iodide is KI (K+ and I-)


Why does potassium chloride conduct electricity in aqueous solution?

its depends in the amount of potassium chloride.
