Why chemical always have to be dissolved in water in order to conduct electricity?
Chemicals do not always have to be dissolved in water to conduct electricity.
Aluminum is 'purified' by electrolysis in the molted form. In the 1700's other metals were 'purified' by electrolysis as well with no water involved. Actually if water had been present it would not have allowed the chemical breakdown to occur to give a sample of ther free metal.
Water solutions will conduct electricity of low voltage and amperage. The electrolysis mentioned above requires higher voltage and amperage ... much higher.

Can a person be electrocuted in distilled water?
It is extremely unlikely that a person can be electrocuted in distilled water, as it does not conduct electricity very well. However, if there are impurities or substances dissolved in the water that increase its conductivity, there is a small risk of electrocution. It is always safest to avoid mixing electricity and water.
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 conducts electricity some of the time?
Semiconductor. That's why they call it semi vs always conductor. It will only conduct electricity when there is voltage on its gate to open the channel.
What substances can conduct electricity in solid state?
solids are of 3 types 1)insulators 2)conductors and 3)semi-conductors conductors easily conduct electricity and semi conductors conduct electricity at suitable conditions but insulators do not conduct electricity
Are acids bases and salts electrolytes?
Always. So long as you get the ratio correct, they always will.
Can tap water conduct electricity?
Yes, tap water can conduct electricity due to the presence of dissolved ions like sodium and chloride. However, pure water does not conduct electricity because it lacks these ions. It's always important to be cautious when dealing with electricity and water to prevent accidents.
Do ionic compounds conduct electricity well when dissolved in water?
Yes because ionic compounds are a combination of a metal and a non-metal, and as you might know, metals are good conductors of electricity.And yes, they conduct electricity well when dissolved in water, providing that is able to dissolve in water (aqueous).
Can rusty nails conduct electricity?
Yes, A Rusted Nail can conduct Electricity because every element has some free Electrons in it, and remember, free electrons always conduct Electricity. --Dhruv
Can covalent compounds conduct electricity in water?
Generally, molecular covalent substances do not conduct electricity. Carbon as graphite is the exception. This is because they are neutrally charged; they do not have ions or delocalized electrons as these are being shared by the non-metals. Yet some conduct electricity when dissolved in water. This is because some react with water to produce ions which are attracted to the oppositely charged electrodes.
Is electricity from chemical action always alternating current?
No, Electricity from Chemical reaction may be DC.e.g Battery

How can you use ionic compound in a sentence?
Table salt, which is sodium chloride, is an ionic compound.
Why do ionic solids conduct electricity in liquid?
When an ionic compound is melted or dissolved in water to form an aqueous solution, it can conduct electricity. This is because the ions are free to move in the molten state while in the solid state ions are not mobile.
Is LINO3 a strong electrolyte?
What is LINO3??? If you mean 'LiNO3' ( lithium nitrate) then , yes!!!, it is a strong electrolyte. NB When writing chemical formulae the first letter is ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter and the second letter is always small/lower case.. 'L' as an element does not exist. 'I' as an element is iodine. However, lithium is 'Li'. NOT 'LI'. This is the interntional recognised standard for writing chemical symbols and formulae.
Are all non metals do not conduct electricity except graphite?
No, not all of them. Liquids with ions dissolved in them are usually very good conductors; and in nature, there are almost always ions in them. The best conductors of all are superconductors - and not all of those are metals, either.
What conducts electricity some of the time?
Semiconductor. That's why they call it semi vs always conductor. It will only conduct electricity when there is voltage on its gate to open the channel.
