Ions carry an electric charge in solution. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge. This charge allows ions to conduct electricity in solution.
Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)
Protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge.
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.
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
Carrying charge means it is an ION, not an atom
Ionic compounds in solution can conduct electric current because the ions are free to move and carry electric charge. When an ionic compound dissolves in water, it dissociates into its constituent ions, which are then able to move and carry the electric current.
Yes, ions are particles that carry an electric charge.
No electric charge .
The neutrons are the part of the atom that carry no electric charge. They are found in the nucleus. the protons carry a positive charge and the electrons carry a negative charge.

Salt dissociates into ions in solution, allowing for the flow of electric current since ions can carry an electric charge. In contrast, sugar does not dissociate into ions in solution, which prevents the flow of electric current as there are no charged particles present to carry the charge.
A substance will conduct an electric current if it forms ions in solution. A solute that produces ions in solution is an Electrolyte. An Electrolytic Solution is a solution that conducts electricity.
Potassium iodine solution conducts electricity because it contains ions that are free to move and carry electric charge. When an electric field is applied, the ions in the solution can migrate towards the oppositely charged electrodes, allowing the flow of electric current.
Protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge.
An electric current in a solution is the flow of charged particles, called ions, in the liquid medium. These ions carry electrical charge and move in response to an applied electric field, allowing the flow of electricity. The concentration of ions in the solution and the presence of an external electric field are key factors that determine the magnitude of the current.
In a solution, electric charge moves through the movement of charged particles (ions) in the liquid. In the transfer of electric charge between solid objects, charge is transferred through the movement of electrons between the objects. The mechanism of charge transfer and conduction is different in each case due to the nature of the medium involved.
