What compound conducts electricity?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Ionic compounds, such as salts, conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted. This is because the ions are free to move and carry electric current. Examples include sodium chloride (table salt) and potassium iodide.

Answer 5

Get a job! i would suggest a job at the science compartment. i hope i helped :D

anyone wanna chat to liz?

Answer 6

By heating it.if it will conduct heat it will conduct electricity too.

Answer 7

check the resistivity of the object with the help of electric tester .The object having low resistivity is a good conductor of electricity.
