Why do ionic crystals conduct electric currents in the liquid phase or when dissolved in the water but do not conduct electric currents in the solid phase?

because when the ions can move around freely, they can conduct electricity better


What type of substance can conduct electricity in the liquid but not solid phase?

Most ionic solids cannot conduct electricity in the solid phase. They only do so in the liquid phase. While they are solid, the ions in the ionic solid are fixed in their lattice so cannot move to conduct electricity whereas in the liquid phase, the ions are free and mobile and can act as charge carriers for electricity.


Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?

because of the gravity or Magnetricity


Does liquid naphthalene conduct electricity?

Naphthalene is a Ionic Substance. Hence, Ionic substance do not conduct when solid. But they do conduct when melted or dissolved in water - and they decompose at the same time. Therefor molten Naphthalene conduts electricity as the ions become free to move when dissolved in water.


why ionic solid don't conduct current in solid state?

Ionic substances conduct electricity through the migration of ions. Positive ions move toward the negative electrode (cathode), and negative ions move toward the positive electrode (anode). In a solid there is no migration (movement) because the ions are locked together in a crystal lattice, the solid form.

Why do solid crystals of ionic compounds conduct electricity when the crystals dissolve in water?

Solid crystals of ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are not free to move. When the crystals dissolve in water, the ionic bonds are broken and the ions become free to move, allowing them to carry electric current.

How do ionic compounds conduct?

Do_ionic_compounds_conduct_electricitycompounds conduct electricity when they are either dissolved in water of they are molten. If they remain a solid then they will not conduct electricity


Will an ionic compound conduct electricity as a solid?

Ionic compounds are conductors in solution or melted.


A substance that does not conduct electricity as a solid but does conduct electricity when melted is most likely classified as?

An ionic compound. Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in their solid state because the ions are locked in place and cannot move to carry a charge. However, when melted, these ions are free to move and conduct electricity.


Ionic solid conduct electricity?

Ionic solids do not conduct electricity in their solid state because their ions are not free to move and carry electric charge. However, when they are melted or dissolved in water, the ions become free to move and conduct electricity.


Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the solid phase liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid plase?

Ionic crystals conduct electricity when dissolved in water or in the liquid phase because the ions are free to move and carry electrical charge. In the solid phase, the ions are locked in place and cannot move freely to conduct electricity. In contrast, metals conduct in the solid phase due to the mobility of free electrons within the metallic lattice.


Does calcium choride conduct electricity when a solid?

No, like most ionic compounds it does not.


Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the liquid phase but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?

Because ionic crystals contain ions which are arranged compactely by electrovalent force.in solutioon they become free ions because the solvent overcome their attractions so,they conduct electric current


Can water conduct electricity in solid state?

No. Water can only conduct electricity in its liquid state with dissolved ionic solutes.


When elements are bonded with ionic bonds what are their electrical conductivity?

Solid ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity because there are no mobile ions or electrons present in the lattice, The ions cannot move out of the lattice, so the solid cannot conduct electricity, but Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten or in solution (the ions are released from the lattice structure and are free to move).
