Why copper 2 sulfate does not conduct electricity in solid state?

∙ 15y ago
In the solid state, the Cu2+ and SO42- ions are locked into a crystalline structure, and all electrons are locked into place; because electrons are not free to move, no electrical current can flow. Copper (II) Sulfate CuSO4 can only conduct electricity when the ions are separated, as when this compound is dissolved in water. This "disassociation" permits electrons to be removed from the negative ions and added to the positive ions by an electrical potential, resulting in an electrical current.

What is the state of matter of Copper 2 Sulfate at room temperature?
Copper Sulphate is a powder at room temperature, therefore it is a solid.
Why molten copper chloride conduct electricity?
As copper and chlorine are bonded by ionic bonding , they are placed in a crystal lattice and there is no free moving ions to conduct electricity at the solid state. In molten state, the ions are free to move about.
Can copper chloride solution conduct electricity?
Copper (II) sulfate crystals (solid) are not electrically conductive.
What technique should be used when changing some copper sulfate solution into solid copper sulfate?
filtration
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.
Does copper sulfate conduct electricity?
Copper sulphate can conduct electricity. However, this will only happen when it is in liquid or gaseous state but not in solid form.
Can copper conduct electricity in solid state?
yes copper can conduct in a solid state but im trying to find if it conducts in a liquid state :)
What is solid copper sulfate?
Copper sulfate in the solid form are crystals
Is solid copper sulfate an element?
No. Copper sulfate is a compound.
What is the conductivity of CuSO4?
Copper (II) sulfate is a poor conductor of electricity in solid state. When dissolved in water, it, like most salts, becomes conductive. One would expect that molten CuSO4 would also conduct electricity.
What is the state of matter of Copper 2 Sulfate at room temperature?
Copper Sulphate is a powder at room temperature, therefore it is a solid.
Why aqueous copper sulphate solution conduct electricity but solid copper sulphate does not?
aqueous copper sulphate having high conductive hydroxide ions were as no in solid Copper sulphate.
If solid copper sulfate is mixed with water what is formed?
a copper sulfate solution it becomes copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate
Can copper conduct electricity in its solid form?
Yes. Metallic copper is one of the best of all conductors in solid form and therefore is commonly used for electrical wiring.
Why molten copper chloride conduct electricity?
As copper and chlorine are bonded by ionic bonding , they are placed in a crystal lattice and there is no free moving ions to conduct electricity at the solid state. In molten state, the ions are free to move about.
