In short, ionic compounds conduct electricity in water because they separate into charged ions, which are then attracted to the oppositely charged electrode.

Urea solution does not conduct electricity because it is a covalent compound.

Metals conduct electricity, so if there is just the symbol of a metal, eg Mg(s), then it will conduct, even in the solid or liquid state. 2. Ionic compounds conduct when they are dissolved in water, or are melted. Ionic compounds always start with a metal.

Electrolytes are salts or molecules that ionize completely in solution. Nonelectrolytes do not dissociate into ions in solution; nonelectrolyte solutions do not, therefore, conduct electricity.

When an acid, a base, or a salt is dissolved in water, the molecules break into electrically charged particles called ions. Solutions with ions conduct electricity. Because pure water has few ions, it is a poor conductor. Uncharged molecules that dissolve in water, like sugar, do not conduct electricity.

Distilled water is pure and free of salts; thus it is a very poor conductor of electricity. By adding ordinary table salt (NaCl) to distilled water, it becomes an electrolyte solution, able to conduct electricity.

Yes. While pure water is an electric insulator, rainwater is not pure water, even before it hits the ground.

The availability of ions is very important to conduct electricity. These gases dissolve in water to form some kind of acids like carbonic acids which dissociates to give ions. Thus rainwater is conducting electricity while distilled water is not conducting electricity.

Well actually, pure water is an excellent insulator and does not conduct electricity. The thing is, you won’t find any pure water in nature, so don’t mix electricity and water.

Petrol and kerosene oil have very low electrical conductivity and hence they are poor electrical conductors (i.e. insulators).

Sulfuric acid is very popular for its high electrical conductivity. It conducts electricity very well because of the dissociation that happens through its protonation.

Answer. Sulphuric Acid is a conductor of electricity because it furnish h+ ions in aqueous solution but h2so4 gas is not conductor of electricity because it doesn’t furnish h+ions.

When H2SO4 desolve in water it will be ionized to form 2H+ and SO4 2- ions these ions free to move in solution due to this these free ions into the solution it will be conduct electricity .

Glass is usually an insulator and has electrons held tightly which means they aren’t shared between other atoms, so it is a poor conductor of electricity whereas copper is a metal and has free electrons in it and therefore it is a good conductor of electricity. Hence, the given statement is false.

Most metals are considered to be good conductors of electrical current. Copper is just one of the more popular materials that is used for conductors. Other materials that are sometimes used as conductors are silver, gold, and aluminum. Aluminum and most other metals do not conduct electricity quite as good as copper.

Plastics are usually a bad conductor of heat and electricity which means that it cannot conduct electricity or heat when passed through it. Complete answer: -Conductors are defined as those compounds which can conduct heat and electricity.
