Does potassium iodide conduct electricity

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Potassium iodide can conduct electricity when it is dissolved in water, as the ions are free to move and carry the electric charge. In its solid form, potassium iodide does not conduct electricity because the ions are not able to move freely.

Answer 4

potassium sulfate is a poor conductor of electricity

Answer 5

Yes
