Slate is an electrical insulator. Slate is not a conductor of electricity.
because when the ions can move around freely, they can conduct electricity better
yes it sure can
because of the gravity or Magnetricity
Sugar (sucrose) is a material that dissolves in water but does not conduct electric current. Sugar molecules do not ionize in water, so the solution does not carry electric charge.
Yes, alcohol is a liquid and has delocalised electrons which can carry the electrical current. Edited: Seriously? Unless there are impurities in the alcohol that are electrolytes, alcohol will NOT conduct an electric current. Alcohols are considered as NON ELECTROLYTES, as they do not ionize and thus will not conduct a current. (Dr.J.)
Yes, slate can be an insulator. Since slate is chiefly carbon based, and many forms of carbon act as a mild insulator, slate could have this property as well. Unfortunately, slate can also contain contaminants that might act as a conductor.
it can conduct electricity and heat.
No, slate rock is typically not attracted to a magnet because it is composed mainly of minerals like clay and quartz, which are not magnetic. Magnetic properties in rocks are usually found in those containing iron minerals, such as magnetite.
no,
Yes.
Slate roofs were once very popular. Turkey calls are made from slate. Sinks have been made with slate. Patios, walkways, stones to sharpen knives, even tabletops have been made from slate. Slate is used in buildings, roofs for example, Slate tiles are often used for interior and exterior flooring, stairs etc, and because it is a good electrical insulator and fireproof, it was used to construct early 20th century electric switchboards and relay controls for large electric motors. Fine slate can also be used as a whetstone to hone knives.

An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.
