The solution would not be able to conduct electricity because there would not be free flowing ions in the solution for electricity to travel through.

Answer: The conductivity of the solution is very low or near zero

Explanation:

Covalent compounds do not have free electrons and do not dissociate into ions. Ions are the charge carriers in solution and are responsible for the conductivity of electrolyte solutions. Non-electrolytes do not dissociate into ions hence they do not conduct electricity in solution. The conductivity is very low due to the absence of ions making the solution unable to conduct electricity.

Answer:

The correct answer option is C. 2.

Explanation:

We are given the number '0.0020' and we are to indicate the number of significant figures in the given measured number.

According to the rules of significant figures, numbers that are non-zero, zeros between any two significant numbers and the ending zeros in the decimal position are categorized as significant figures.

Since there is one non-zero number and one ending zero in the decimal position, therefore 0.0020 has 2 significant figures.
