The movement of ions is the flow of electricity in the case of molten ionic solids (such as KF). At low temperature, the motion of the ions is restricted and the conductivity is lost

Is potassium fluoride conductive?

Potassium fluoride is an ionic compound that dissociates into potassium cations and fluoride anions in solution. These ions are free to move and conduct electricity, so potassium fluoride can conduct electricity when dissolved in water or in a molten state.


Under what condition can potassium bromide conduct electricity?

Potassium Bromide will conduct electricity only when it is melted or dissolved in water


Does potassium bromide conduct electricity when in molten state?

Yes, potassium bromide does conduct electricity when in a molten state. This is because the ions in the molten potassium bromide are free to move and carry electric charge, allowing it to conduct electricity.


Why would molten potassium flouride conduct elctricity?

Molten potassium fluoride would conduct electricity because when it is in molten form, the ions become mobile and can carry electric charge through the material. This movement of charged particles allows for the flow of electric current.


Can potassium conduct electricity?

sodium bromide can conduct electricity though not in high quantitiesAdded:So does potassium bromide, as all ionic salts do (more or less) 'in solutae'


Does silver fluoride conduct electricity?

Silver fluoride is not a good conductor of electricity. While silver is a good conductor of electricity, the addition of fluoride changes the properties of the material, making it a poor conductor. Silver fluoride is actually used as a non-conductive material in certain applications.


Does potassium choloride conduct electrisity?

Yes, potassium chloride is an electrolyte because it dissociates into potassium and chloride ions in solution, allowing it to conduct electricity. However, it conducts electricity only when it is dissolved in water or in a molten state, not as a solid.


Will the solution of potassium chloride and water conduct electricity or not explain?

Yes, a solution of potassium chloride and water will conduct electricity. When potassium chloride (an electrolyte) dissolves in water, it dissociates into potassium ions and chloride ions which can carry electric current.


Does potassium that is dissolved in water conduct electricity?

Yes. Potassium metal when it reacts with water forms potassium hydroxide which is ionic and therefore conducts electricity. the vast majority of potassium salts are soluble and these conduct as they are ionic.


Under what conditions can potasium bromine conduct electricty?

Potassium bromide can conduct electricity when it is in molten form or when it is dissolved in water. In these cases, the ions are free to move and carry a charge, allowing for the conduction of electricity.


Why potassium iodide can conduct electricity in the molten state but not in solid state?

Potassium Bromide or KBr is not able to conduct electricity in solid state. It is an ionic compound and its ions are not free to move in the solid state, hence they are not able to conduct electricity. But when they are in aqueous state, they are free to move and thus become able to conduct electricity.


Why potassium chloride does nit conduct electricity in its solid state but is a good conductor in its molten state?

In its solid state, potassium chloride exists as a crystalline lattice with fixed positions for ions, making it unable to conduct electricity. When melted, the ions are free to move and carry electric charge, allowing potassium chloride to conduct electricity in its molten state.
