That would be not true for some things.

Sodium chloride (NaCl) or table salt is a good conductor when disolved in water for example. Thats what makes electrolisis possible for making things like iron oxide.

When dissolved in water what compounds are better conductors of electricity?

Ionic compounds, such as salts, are better conductors of electricity when dissolved in water. This is because they dissociate into ions in solution, allowing for the flow of electric current. Covalent compounds, on the other hand, do not dissociate into ions and are not good conductors of electricity when dissolved in water.


Is ionic solutions poor conductors of electricity?

(in short) No, whilst in their solid state ionic crystals are very poor conductors of electricity, however when molten or dissolved their ions are able to carry charge, therefore they are very good conductors of electricity when molten or dissolved in e.g. water. Pure water is a very poor electrical conductor too, it's the dissolved ions that carry the charge.


Are cucumbers good conductors?

No, cucumbers are not good conductors of electricity. They are mainly made up of water and do not contain enough dissolved ions to allow electricity to pass through them easily.


What is a good electrical conductor when mixed with water?

Soluble ionic compounds are excellent conductors of electricity when dissolved in water - such as sodium chloride (common salt)


Is salt a conductor?

Sodium chloride is an electrical conductor only in solution or when is melted.


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


Ionic solids bad conductors of electricity?

Ionic solids are generally bad conductors of electricity in their solid state because their ions are held in a fixed position by strong electrostatic forces. However, when ionic solids are melted or dissolved in water, they can conduct electricity due to the mobility of their ions.


What is a Good conductor of electricity when mixed with water?

Salt (sodium chloride) is a good conductor of electricity when mixed with water because it dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride) in the water, allowing the flow of electricity through the solution.


Does bromine water conduct electricity?

No, bromine water does not conduct electricity. Bromine itself is a non-conductive element, and when dissolved in water, it remains as molecules that do not dissociate into ions to carry an electric charge.


Which bases are the best conductors of electricity?

Ionic compounds are better conductors of electricity when dissolved in water, as they dissociate into charged ions that can carry electric current. Among the bases, strong bases like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) are better conductors than weak bases like ammonia (NH3).


Is sodium a conductor of electricity?

The same reason that all conductors are conductors: it has a lot of free electrons.


What type of compound conducts electricity when dissolved in water?

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved. Sodium chloride is an example
