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.
Does calcium bromide conduct electricity?
Calcium bromide is an ionic solid, in the solid state it does not conduct electricity. Solutions do conduct, as does the melt.
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.
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 aluminum bromide conduct electricity?
Yes it does! Aluminum bromide is an ionic compound and aluminum alone is a very strong conductor.
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'
Under what conditions can potasium bromine conduct electricty?
Potassium bromide can only conduct electricity when it is in liquid form.

Does solid lead bromide conduct electricity?
No.
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.
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 aluminum bromide conduct electricity?
Yes it does! Aluminum bromide is an ionic compound and aluminum alone is a very strong conductor.
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.
Does sodium Bromide conduct electricity in liquid state?
after heating Lead Bromide, it becomes a molten which conducts electricity. so the answer is yes it does. lead bromide's an ionic bond. so, compared to the structure of an ionic bond, lead bromide does conduct electricity when molten. When molten or in an aqueous state, the ions become free to move and so it can carry electric charge around as well.
Does aqueous lead bromide conduct electricity?
Not really. Lead bromide's solubility in water is so low that it is generally considered to be insoluble.
