Salts can conduct electricity when they are dissolved in water or melted because they dissociate into ions. These free-moving ions allow for the flow of electric current. In their solid state, salts do not conduct electricity because the ions are fixed in place within a rigid lattice structure and cannot move freely.

What is the ability to conduct heat and electricity with metalloids?
Metalloids have an intermediate ability to conduct heat and electricity, falling between metals and nonmetals. They have some metallic properties, such as being able to conduct electricity to some extent, but not as effectively as pure metals. Their ability to conduct heat and electricity can vary depending on the specific metalloid.
A reactive liquid it does not conduct electricity?
A reactive liquid may not conduct electricity if it lacks free ions or charged particles necessary for electrical conductivity. For example, pure water is a poor conductor because it has very few ions present. However, when salts or other electrolytes are dissolved in the liquid, it can become conductive. Therefore, the reactivity of a liquid does not directly determine its ability to conduct electricity.
What is equivalent conductivity?
Similar ability to conduct electricity.
How does a lime conduct electricity?
It contains citric acid and other salts which are conductors of electricity in the presence of water which is there of course.
Is water highly conductive?
Pure water does not conduct electricity. However, since it is almost impossible to have pure water, anything wet will normally conduct electricity. Water almost always has some salts in it, and that provides the free electrons required to conduct electricity.
What salts conduct electricity?
sea salts
How acids and salts conduct electricity?
They conduct electricity only if they are electrolytes: in water solutions or when they are melted.
Which solids conduct electricity when they are dissolved?
salts
The ability to conduct electricity is a property of?
The ability to conduct electricity is a property of a conductor.
Are there any other household conductors?
o There are some organic compounds that can conduct electricity (organic conductors) salts, solubilized in water or any other solvent that can solubilize them conduct electricity. Molten salts conduct electricity ionized atoms or molecules can conduct electricity
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.
Do all salts conduct electricity?
The electrical properties of salts are very different.
Why does salt not conduct electricity?
Salts in solid form will not conduct electricity as the ions cannot be in motion. However when salts are dissolved in aqueous medium (to form solution), they will conduct electricity. Also salts conduct electricity in molten (or fused) state.
What produce conducts electricity?
Any body containing a high moisture content and carbon or salts will conduct electricity. Also metals conduct electricity.
What is the ability to conduct heat electricity or sound?
The ability to conduct heat or electricity is acutally called conductivity.
What are the two compounds which conduct electricity?
Soluble organic and inorganic salts
What is the link between water that contains other substance and is ability to conduct electricity?
pure water does not conduct electricity. the presence of electrolytes in the water is what conducts electricity. the equation for the conductivity (ability to conduct electricity) Conductance = 1/ resistance
