What else can I help you with?
Do detergents conduct electricity?
no they do not conduct because they are neutral things
Do substances which dissolve in water conduct an electric current?
Some do. Electrolytes, which are substances that break into ions when dissolved in water, will conduct electricity. Such substances include soluble salts, acids, and bases.Other water soluble substances are non electrolytes and do not break into ions in water, or at least do so in extremely minute amounts. They do not conduct electricity. These include alcohols, sugars, and some other polar compounds.
What two conditions do substances need to conduct electricity?
Substances need to have free-moving charged particles, such as electrons or ions, in order to conduct electricity. They also need to be connected in a closed loop or circuit for the flow of these charged particles to create an electrical current.
Can covalent compounds conduct electricity in water?
Generally, molecular covalent substances do not conduct electricity. Carbon as graphite is the exception. This is because they are neutrally charged; they do not have ions or delocalized electrons as these are being shared by the non-metals. Yet some conduct electricity when dissolved in water. This is because some react with water to produce ions which are attracted to the oppositely charged electrodes.
Why can some substances contact electricity?
you fail at chem/physics. contact?? i think you mean conduct, because every substance can contact electricity. A: some conduct electricity better (eg. metals) because they have free moving electrons in their outer shell. electricity is the movement of electrons. therefore metals readily allow a current of electrons to pass though them.
Why does paint conduct electricity?
SOME paint may contain ingredients that conduct electricity, but most do not.
What types of substances are electrical conductors?
Some common substances that are electrical conductors include metals like copper, silver, and aluminum. Graphite and some types of water with high mineral content can also conduct electricity. Generally, substances with loosely bound electrons that can move freely are good conductors of electricity.
Can soy sauce conduct electricity?
Yes, soy sauce can conduct electricity to some extent due to the presence of electrolytes such as sodium and chloride ions. However, soy sauce is not as effective a conductor as substances like saltwater or metals.
Is the substance that readily conducts electricity and heat?
Yes, metals are substances that readily conduct electricity and heat due to their free electrons that allow for the flow of electricity and energy. Other examples of materials that conduct electricity and heat well include graphite and some types of ceramics.
What are some liquids that conduct electricity?
mercury
Does money conduct electricity?
Yes, money can conduct electricity to some extent. This is because most coins and bills are made from metals or materials that can conduct electricity, such as copper or graphite. However, the conductivity of money is relatively low compared to other metals like silver or copper.
Elemets that conduct heat and electricity well?
Metals, although some conduct heat & electricity better than others.
