From a measurement standpoint--- use a conductivity meter. It can be something as simple as a battery hooked up to a light bulb with two wires opening the circuit. Complete the circuit by touching the wires to the compound and if the light bulb lights then it is a compound that conducts. If what you have in mind is making predictions instead of measurements, then stick with the general principle that metals conduct, metalloids are semiconductors (partially conduct), and non-metals are usually insulators (do not conduct). Ionic compounds are, as solids, insulators. However, an ionic compound dissolved in water will conduct electricity through the solution.
Water also known as H20
Answer:
Salts, acids, alkali - anything wth an ionic component. Compounds like water, oils are generally insulators in their pure state.
You can check in a couple of ways, including that if you have a circuit connecting a bulb and a battery, and then leave a gap in the circuit, and connect the two disconnected ends to a part of the material in question of the material, the bulb should light up.
Get a job! i would suggest a job at the science compartment. i hope i helped :D
anyone wanna chat to liz?
By heating it.if it will conduct heat it will conduct electricity too.
check the resistivity of the object with the help of electric tester .The object having low resistivity is a good conductor of electricity.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved. Sodium chloride is an example
As aluminium oxide is an ionic compound, it conducts electricity in molten state.
This is an ionic compound dissociated in water.
no,if it is dissolved in solutions it conducts electricity through electron the electricity means flow of electrons.
Liquid conducts electricity due to movement of ions.
ionic compounds
Sodium Bromide
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved. Sodium chloride is an example
Dissolve them in water. If the solution conducts electricity, then the solute is an ionic compound. If not, then it is a molecular compound.
conducts electricity conducts electricity
Dissolve, solution An ionic compound, when dissolved in water, conducts electricity.
As aluminium oxide is an ionic compound, it conducts electricity in molten state.
Because, the ions are free to move about, and the solution conducts current.
HCI
no because its a covalent compound, it undergoes covalent bonding. if it was a metallic or ionic then it would conduct when molten or in aqueous state. the only element that undergoes a covalent bonding and conducts electricity is graphite, no other element or allotrope conducts.
That means how good something conducts electricity.
