Does calcium choride conduct electricity when a solid?
No, like most ionic compounds it does not.
How is the conductivity show by carbon compounds?
they conduct electricity by free electron present in compound. I'm not sure about this ans.
Why doesn't sodium oxide conduct electricity?
covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity
Does methanol conduct electricity?
No, methanol does not conduct electricity. It does not conduct electricity because it is a non-electrolyte molecule. Sugar also is non-electrolyte, therefore it also does not conduct electricity.
What is indium ability to conduct electricity?
indium can conduct electricity. all metals can.
In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
MgCL2 a electrolyte?
Yes, MgCL2 is an example of an electrolyte. This is because it is electrovalent, and it can conduct electricity well.
Does ionic compounds conduct in electricity?
Ionic compounds will not conduct electricity as solids, which is what they are at room temperature. However, they will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
Does mineral conduct electricity?
Many inorganic compounds conduct electricity.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as liquid or solid?
covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in any state.
What are ALL the materials that can conduct electricity?
Anything metallic can conduct electricity. Also molten ionic compounds and solutions of ionic compounds. Aqueous acids also conduct electricity.
Do ionic compounds form solutions that conduct electricity well?
That's right, solutions of ionic compounds do conduct electricity well.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity?
No. Covalent substances do not conduct electricity in solid or liquid state.
What type of compound ionic or covalent will conduct electricity and dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds generally dissolve in water dissociating to give ions that are free to move and conduct electricity. Molten ionic compounds also have free ions and conduct electricity. Ionic compounds generally do not conduct electricity in the solid form.
How do ionic compounds conduct?
Do_ionic_compounds_conduct_electricitycompounds conduct electricity when they are either dissolved in water of they are molten. If they remain a solid then they will not conduct electricity
Compounds that conduct electricity when in solution or in the molten state?
These compounds are called electrolytes.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as solids?
Generally not.
