It depends on the state of the compound. If Zinc Oxide is a solid (like it usually is at room temperature) it does not conduct electricity because the electrons are not free to move around. Once the Zinc Oxide has been heated to a molten (liquid) state, it can conduct electricity.

Does sodium bromide conduct electricity?

Sodium bromide is an ionic substance. It conducts electricity when melted or when dissolved in water. This is due to the sodium, Na+ ions and the Br- ions present. It does not conduct electricity in the solid state as the ions can not move.


Does sodium bromide conduct electricity when sold?

Yes, sodium bromide conducts electricity when dissolved in water. In its solid state, sodium bromide does not conduct electricity because the ions are not free to move. However, when it is dissolved in water, it dissociates into sodium and bromide ions which are able to carry an electrical current.


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'


Is sodium bromide a strong electrolyte?

No, sodium bromide is a strong electrolyte. It dissociates completely in water to form sodium ions and bromide ions, which allows it to conduct electricity effectively.


Is sodium bromide a conductor?

molten or in solution YES - in its natural form - no


Does solid potassium bromide conduct electricity?

No because it's a crystalline ionic solid. However, dissolve some KBr in water and it will conduct electricity nicely, because in solution it's an electrolyte, with lots of little K+ and Br- ions floating around.


Can NaCl conduct electricity in the liquid phase?

Yes, melted sodium chloride is an electrolyte.


Conductivity of liquid of sodium peroxide?

Sodium peroxide will not conduct electricity. Only if in molten state which is electrolyse it will conduct electricity. Causes of the sodium peroxide cannot conduct it is because of there is no freely moving mobile ions.


Does soduim conduct electricity?

Yes, Sodium is a metal and it does conduct electricity.


Why does sodium chloride conducts electricity not when a solid?

When solid sodium chloride dos not conduct electricity because the ions are tightly bound in the ionic crystal lattice. When molten or when dissolved the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.


Why does sodium bromide conducts electricity in the molten state Yes or no?

Yes, sodium bromide conducts electricity in the molten state because the ions are free to move and carry electric charge.


Can liquid electrolyte which does not have sodium molecules conduct sodium ions?

no liquid electrolyte which does not have sodium molecules conduct sodium ions because when liquid electrolyte does not have sodium molecules . so there r no sodium molecules and hence there r no any sodium ions. so how can liquid electrolyte conduct sodium ions.
