Describe a series of steps how table salt in water makes a solution that can conduct electricity?
The electrical conductivity of water, both pure water and water with dissolved salts, is simpler to measure than to explain. Conductivity of water does not work like conductivity in a metal. In a metal, the outer electrons of the metal atoms are not tightly bound to specific atoms but rather distributed widely and are pretty much free to move in response to an electric field. When you apply a voltage to a metal you get a large flow of electrons.
In water, the application of a voltage results in the movement of charge, but the charges are not nearly-free electrons but rather ions (charged atoms or molecules). In pure water, the ions that are moving are the protons in the form of H3O+ and hydroxide ions, OH-. In other ionic solutions it is the dissolved ions themselves, for instance in salt water, sodium chloride dissociated into the ions Na+ and Cl-.
In some way, the conductivity of an ionic solution is easy to explain. When a voltage is applied, there develops an electric field. Any atom or molecule that has a net charge, q, feel a force, F=qE. Positive ions move in the direction of the field and negative ions move in the opposite direction. Both sets of moving charges add to make a current flows that in the direction of the field.
Of course, one expects that dragging an atom or molecule through a liquid is a lot harder than moving an election through a metal and thus one is not surprised that the conductivity due to ion motion is small. Sea water conducts electric current about a million times better than pure water and drinking water varies depending on the source, but might be a hundred to a thousand time more conductive than pure water. A metal, like gold, copper, aluminum will be a million times better than seawater at conducting electricity while an insulator like glass or rubber is a million times worse than pure water.

Describe as a series of steps how table salt in water makes a solution that can conduct electricity?
When salt (sodium chloride) is added to water, it dissolves into sodium ions and chlorine ions. These ions are free to move around in the solution. When an electric current is applied, the ions carry the charge from one electrode to the other, allowing the solution to conduct electricity. The movement of the ions completes the circuit and allows electricity to flow through the solution.
How many pathways exits for electricity travel on in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, there is only one path for electricity to travel along the circuit from the power source through each component connected in series back to the power source.
Is cardboard a good conductor of electricity?
Cardboard is an insulator of electricity. It is not the best insulator to use for this as cardboard can be affected by moisture and any corrosion of nearby batteries. If it becomes wet with an electrolyte solution (such as salt water), it could become a conductor under certain conditions.To test this, put a battery and a light in series and leave the contacts open between the light and the battery. Then touch the wire to the cardboard and the cardboard to the battery. The light will not light up.
How are parallel circuit lights better than series circuit lights using science facts?
In a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths for electricity to flow. So, if one switch is turned off there is still other paths for electricity to flow so the other lights can remain on. However, in a series circuit there is only one path for the electricity to travel. So, if the switch in a series circuit was turned off the electricity would stop flowing causing all the lights to go out.
Would it be possible to create chidori with static electricity?
No, the Chidori is a fictional technique from the Naruto series that involves gathering chakra in one's hand to create an electrical charge. Static electricity would not be sufficient to replicate this technique as it is purely a concept from the show.

Does copper wire conduct sound?
Since sound is the effect of vibrations in a media, copper can definitely conduct sound. However, as a wire it would have a certain damping factor, much a like spring, that would absorb the energy of sound vibrations. So a sheet of copper would conduct sound, but a thin wire would not.
Is fermium a metal?
We all know that in solid electrons are carrier of electricity while ions are carrier in liquids.but note that some non-metal can conduct electricity like graphite an allotrope of carbon. Firstly, there are non metals that can conduct electricity (ionic compounds), except they have to be dissolved to do that.
What is a series of steps that results in the solution to a problem?
.The series of steps that result in the solution to a problem is called the solving process. The first step in the process is identifying the cause
How many pathways exits for electricity travel on in a series circuit?

What circuits of electricity flow in one pathway?
Series Circuit.
How do you solve geometric sequence and series?
There can be no solution to geometric sequences and series: only to specific questions about them.
What method is used to extract metals that are above carbon in the reactivity series?
Metals that are above carbon in the reactivity series are often extracted through electrolysis, a process that uses electricity to break down the metal compound into its pure form. This method is necessary because these metals are too reactive to be extracted using carbon reduction methods like smelting.
A series circuit is:?
A circuit in which electricity only has 1 path to flow.
What term is used to describe a series of chords that appear back-to-back in music?
The term used to describe a series of chords that appear back-to-back in music is "chord progression."
