False. A salt solution is full of positive and negative ions making it a good conductor of electricity.

Metal conducts electricity.


When are salts excellent conductors electricity?

In solution (an electrolyte is formed) and in liquid state (melted).


Salts conductors of electricity?

Because after dissociation ions are formed ionic salts can be electricity conductors. Also melted ionic salts are electricity conductors.

sea salts


Do all salts conduct electricity?

The electrical properties of salts are very different.


Why salt water conduct electricity while distilled water cannot?

Dissolved and liquid salts are electrolytes and do conduct electricity. All natural waters have salts in them. Water only conducts electricity, when salts have dissolved in the water. Distilled water aka water without any salts is a nonelectrolyte and does not, as any other oxide, conduct electricity.


Why are some liquids and some gas conductors of electricity?

molten metals are liquids that conduct electricity (mercury is molten at room temperature)electrolytes are liquids that conduct electricity (acids, salts, or bases either dissolved in water or molten)ionized gases conduct electricity (unless ionized gases are excellent insulators)


Which solids conduct electricity when they are dissolved?

salts


When are salts excellant conductors of electricity?

Salts are normally very brittle and hard, but when their ions can move about salts are excellent electrical conductors. this is possible when a salt melts or dissolves. when a salt melts the ions that make up the crystal can freely move past each other. Molten salts are good conductors although they do not work as well as metals. Similarly if a salt dissolves on water it's ions are no longer held tightly in a crystal because the ions can move freely the solution can conduct electrisity


Procedure to distinguish conductor from non-condutors of electricity?

Metals like Copper, Iron Steel conduct electricity. Wood, rubber mats, most plastics either conduct electricity very badly or not at all. Metals are conductors, Wood is a non - conductor


Why are salts excellent conductors of electricity?

Salt solutions conduct electricity because they dissociate into respective ions which gets attracted towards cathode or anode according to their charge and this movement of ions conduct electricity. Salt solutions conduct electricity because sodium chloride (NaCl) is an electrolyte because it is a soluble ionic compound. Certain highly polar molecules such as hydrogen chloride are also electrolytes because HCl molecules form the ions H3O+ and Cl- when dissolved in water.
