A compound that does not conduct an electric current in aqueous soltion or in molten state?
A compound that does not conduct an electric current in aqueous solution or in molten state is a covalently bonded compound. It could also be called a "non-ionogen".
Can glycerol conduct electricity?
Glucose is not an electrolyte because it cannot dissociate into ions whenever introduced into an aqueous solution. Electrolytes are those that dissociate into ions whenever introduced into a solution and by differences of charges in the ions, an electrical current is produced.
What is a single route for electrical current called?
A single route for electrical current is called a branch circuit.
Why is sodium chloride a better conductor of electricity in molten state than in solid state?
In solid table salt (sodium chloride or NaCl), the atoms of sodium and chlorine are locked to each other in ionic bonds, and these molecules are, in turn, locked into a crystal matrix. There are no "free electrons" in this structure that are available to support the flow of electric current. That's why salt in its solid form won't conduct electricity. It's a different story when sodium chloride is in aqueous solution or is molten. In solution, salt molecules will dissociate. They will "decompose" into ions of sodium and chlorine, what are Na+ and Cl- as we write them in chemistry. These ions have mobility in the solution, and if we stick a pair of electrodes into a salt solution and hook up a battery, we can get current flow through the solution. The ions themselves will be the charge carriers, and salt water is a conductor or an electrolyte. If we melt sodium chloride, it will undergo thermal dissociation. The heat of fusion (standard enthalpy of fusion) is sufficient to again cause the molecules of salt to "decompose" into those ions we spoke of, and the ions will be mobile in the molten salt like they are when salt is in solution. Molten salt will conduct electricity.
How much time does it take in electroplating?
Michael Faraday worked out that the thickness of metal electroplating deposits in a certain time depends on the amount of electrical current, the concentration of the solution and the position the metal holds in the 'electrochemical series.'
What carries electrical current?
An electrical circuit.
What is built on integrated circuits and carries the electrical current?
Transistors
What is an ionic compound that will conduct an electric current when it forms an aqueous solution is a?
This compound is an electrolyte.
An ionic compound whose aqueous solution conducts an electric current?
electrolyte
What item carries the most current?
A Super-conductor will allow the greatest flow of electrical current.
What is a material called that easily carries a current?
Its called a Conductor
Why does cesium bromide in an aqueous solution conduct electric current?
Cesium bromide is dissociated in water in ions.
A compound that does not conduct an electric current in aqueous soltion or in molten state?
A compound that does not conduct an electric current in aqueous solution or in molten state is a covalently bonded compound. It could also be called a "non-ionogen".
What is A substance that conducts an electric current in solution?
A substance that dissolves in solution to conduct an electrical current is an "electrolyte" or, less commonly, an "ionogen".
Why is a person not safe in a car that has a fiberglass body?
Because fiberglass carries the electrical current
What is NaOH2?
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.
How does the body conduct an electrical current?
The human body is over 70 percent water. The electron transfer that is the fundamental part of an electrical current uses ions dissolved in solution to conduct the electrical current.
