Glass is a good conductor when melted. Most precision glass melters use gas burners to get the glass to a molten state, then they use electrodes immersed in the glass to electrically heat it to the required temperature.

Is NaCl an insulator or conductor?

Hi, Salt itself is an insulator of electricity. The conductivity of any solution depends on the movement of ions. Ions are the charged species of the atom. In salt the movement of these ions are not possible. Thus, it is a bad conductor. Hope this helps.


Is this solid a conductor, a semiconductor, or an insulator?

This solid is a semiconductor.


Is brass an insulator or conductor?

Brass will conduct both electricity and heat. So brass is a conductor, but not an insulator.


Is glass a conductor or insulator of electricity?

Glass in a molten state is a conductor of electricity. When glass turns to a solid state it becomes an insulator.Basically, glass in a window or a test tube would be the solid state and so it is a insulator of electricity.


Why is solid sodium an excellent conductor of electricity but solid sodium chloride is an insulator?

An atom's conducting and insulating properties relate to its electron configuration. Sodium metal is a conductor because electrons can flow freely through the metal. On the other hands, electrons are not free to flow in sodium chloride, and thus its an insulator.


Which non metallic solid is not an electrical insulator?

graphite


Is salt a conductor?

Sodium chloride is an electrical conductor only in solution or when is melted.


Is a glass dish a conductor of electricity?

Glass in its solid state is an insulator of electricity.


Is a magnet a insulator or conductor of electricity?

Assuming you mean electrical conductor / insulator, most bar magnets are made of solid metal, either iron, neodymium or an alloy of aluminium nickel and cobalt, so they conduct electricity. There is one type of magnet called a ferrite magnet which does not conduct electricity - they are the type often found in loudspeakers.


Is usually a gas or brittle solid that is a poor conductor of electricity?

A gas is usually a poor conductor of electricity. In contrast, a brittle solid material that is a poor conductor of electricity is typically an insulator.


Solid NaCl her what is the electrecally conduter?

Solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.


Is NaCl a good conductor?

Sodium chloride is an electrolyte only in water solutions or when is melted. Solid sodium chloride is not a conductor of electricity.
