Electrolytic Cell (4)

Example of non-electrolytes (1)

Acetamide, CH3CONH2

Example of non-electrolytes (2)

Glucose, C6H12O6

The properties of an electrolyte that allow it to conduct electricity

Because there are free moving ions

The role of ions in an electrolyte that can conduct electricity

Ions carry charges

The reason of ionic compound in the solid state cannot conduct electricity

Ions in ionic lattice structure cannot move freely

The reason of ionic compound in the molten or aqueous solution can conduct electricity

Presence of free moving ions

The reason of covalent compound cannot conduct electricity

No free moving ions

The reason of acid and alkali (in absence of water) cannot conduct electricity

No free moving ions

The reason of acid and alkali (presence of water) cannot conduct electricity

Presence of free moving ions

The reason of molten lead(II) bromide, PbBr2 and sodium chloride, NaCl solution can conduct electricity

Because there are free moving ions and these ions carry charges
