Why ionic crystals don't conduct electricity in the solid state?
In the solid state ionic crystals are not dissociated in ions.
Can a nonpolar molecule conduct electricity in either its solid or liquid state?
No.
Does aluminum conduct electricity in a dissolved state?
No, aluminum is definitely in a solid state when it conducts electricity.
Does sulphur conduct electricity in solid or aqueous state?
Sulfur does not conduct electricity in its solid state because it is a non-metal with a covalent molecular structure, meaning it lacks free-moving charged particles. However, when dissolved in water to form an aqueous solution, sulfur remains largely insoluble, so it does not conduct electricity in that state either. Generally, sulfur does not exhibit electrical conductivity in either solid or aqueous forms.
Conducts electricity in solid state metal or nonmetal?
Metals conduct electricity in the solid state due to the mobility of their free electrons. Nonmetals, on the other hand, do not conduct electricity in the solid state because they lack free electrons or have electrons that are tightly bound within their atomic structure.
Can water conduct electricity in solid state?
No. Water can only conduct electricity in its liquid state with dissolved ionic solutes.
Why potassium iodide can conduct electricity in the molten state but not in solid state?
Potassium Bromide or KBr is not able to conduct electricity in solid state. It is an ionic compound and its ions are not free to move in the solid state, hence they are not able to conduct electricity. But when they are in aqueous state, they are free to move and thus become able to conduct electricity.
Does potassuim hydroxide conduct electricity?
Not in its standard solid state. But it will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
Does calcium choride conduct electricity when a solid?
No, like most ionic compounds it does not.
Why doesn't sugar and wax conduct electricity?
because wax does not have free electrons hence can not conduct electricity in solid state
Which substance meets the requirements cubic solid poor electrical conductor in the solid state good conductor when fused a sodium chloride b diamond c sulfur d chromium?
A, sodium chloride, because it is a crystalline solid. It has an ionic bond when in it's solid form and is a poor conductor. It is a good conductor of electricity in an aqueous state or when fused.
Why ionic crystals don't conduct electricity in the solid state?
In the solid state ionic crystals are not dissociated in ions.
Can a nonpolar molecule conduct electricity in either its solid or liquid state?
No.
Why can ionic compounds conduct electricity but molecular compounds usually can not?
Ionic compounds can conduct electricity because the ions in the solid state can move and carry electric charge. In contrast, molecular compounds usually do not conduct electricity because they do not dissociate into ions in solution or in the solid state, resulting in no free charge carriers to conduct electricity.
When do ionic compounds not conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state because the ions are held in place and cannot move to carry a charge. However, they can conduct electricity when dissolved in a liquid or when melted, as the ions are free to move and carry the charge.
Can ionic substances conduct electricity when in a solid state?
They are conductive in solution or melted.
When can sodium chloride losses the ability to conduct electricity?
When NaCl in in solid state.
