Why is an electrolyte able to conduct electricity while a nonelectrolyte cannot?

1 answer:

7 0

Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state because the ions are held in a lattice and do not move freely. However, when they are melted or dissolved in water, they can conduct electricity. This is because the ions are free to move in the molten state or aqueous solution.

The exponent is 1

There are 4 significant digits

The rightmost significant figure is 5

Explanation:

Scientific notation is defined as the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form with one digit before the decimal point times 10 raise to the power.

For example : 5000 is written as $5.0\times 10^3$

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every gas contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles, occupy 22.4 L at STP and weighs equal to its molecular mass.
