ions
a) In a solid state, NaCl is an insulator since the ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move to conduct electricity. b) When NaCl is melted into a liquid state, the ions are free to move and can carry an electric current, making molten NaCl an electrical conductor. c) In an aqueous solution of NaCl, the salt dissociates into ions, allowing them to move freely in the solution and carry an electric current, making it a good conductor of electricity.
A covalent compound with no free ions, such as nonpolar molecules like oil or sugar, would not conduct electricity in aqueous solution or in the molten state. Ionic compounds like table salt or potassium chloride, which dissociate into ions in solution or molten form, can conduct electricity due to the presence of free ions.
Yes, copper chloride solution can conduct electricity because it contains mobile ions that are capable of carrying electric charge. When an electric field is applied, the copper ions and chloride ions in the solution can move towards the oppositely charged electrodes, allowing the flow of electric current.
A single route for electrical current is called a branch circuit.
Yes, an electric current can be completed in NaCl solution because the dissolved ions in the solution can conduct electricity. When an electric potential is applied across the solution, the positively charged sodium ions (Na+) will move towards the negative electrode (cathode) while the negatively charged chloride ions (Cl-) will move towards the positive electrode (anode), completing the electrical circuit.
Cesium bromide in an aqueous solution conducts electric current because it dissociates into Cs+ and Br- ions, which are free to move and carry electrical charge. This process allows the ions to flow and conduct electricity in the solution.
A line wire carries electrical current into a device, while a load wire carries electrical current out of a device.
When compounds do not conduct an electric current in either aqueous solution or molten state, they are referred to as non-electrolytes. Non-electrolytes typically do not dissociate into ions in solution, which is necessary for electrical conductivity. Examples include sugar and alcohols, which remain as intact molecules rather than forming charged ions.
Yes, a neutral wire carries current in an electrical circuit.
This compound is an electrolyte.
Transistors
Yes, an electric current can flow through a basic aqueous solution because water can act as an electrolyte and conduct electricity when dissolved in basic substances such as NaOH or KOH, promoting the flow of charged particles (ions) through the solution.
It is true that moving current has electrical energy.
A Super-conductor will allow the greatest flow of electrical current.
Its called a Conductor
Yes, the neutral wire carries current in an electrical circuit, but it is designed to carry the current back to the power source to complete the circuit.
NA(OH)2 is actually sodium hydroxide. The sodium (NA) cation carries a +2 charge, and the hydroxide (OH) anion carries a -1 charge. To balance the equation you must have 2 hydroxide ions to make the anionic charge total -2 to match the cationic +2 charge. It is used to make soaps, cleaners, and hydrogen gas in an aqueous solution when exposed to electrical current. It is a highly corrosive base and should be handled with caution.
