In solid Conductors Electric current is the flow of?

In solid conductors, electric current is the flow of electrons moving through the material. These electrons move in a coordinated manner in response to an applied electric field, creating the flow of current.


What type of solid is likely to be the best conductor of an electric current?

A metal solid is likely to be the best conductor of an electric current due to its free electrons that can move easily through the material, allowing for efficient flow of electricity. Metals generally have high conductivity compared to other solid materials.


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

Magnetricity.


What is a liquid or solid substance or mixture that does not allow an electric current?

an insulator


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


How electric current flows through solid?

moving conduction band electrons


Does lightning have a solid state?

No. Lightning is an electric current flowing through ionized air.


Why is a melted ionic compound is a good conductor of electric current but a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor of electric current?

Upon melting, the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.


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

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


Can diamond conduct electricity at its solid state?

No, diamond is an insulator and does not conduct electricity in its solid state. This is because it does not have free electrons to carry an electric current.


When can an ionic compound conduct electric current?

An ionic compound can conduct electric current when it is dissolved in water or molten (liquid) form, allowing the ions to move freely and carry charge. In solid form, ionic compounds are not conductive because the ions are held in a fixed position in the crystal lattice.


Is Solid sodium chloride is a good conductor of electric current?

No, solid sodium chloride is not a good conductor of electric current because it is an ionic compound. In the solid state, the ions are not free to move and carry electric charge, so it does not conduct electricity well.
