Answer:

  • <em>A compound that conducts an electric current in aqueous solution or in the molten state is</em> a <u>ionic compound</u>.

  • E.g. NaCl (table salt)

Explanation:

Some examples of ionic compounds are NaCl, KF, KI, MgSO₄.

Ionic compounds are formed by positivie ions (named cations) and negative ions (named anions). The strong electrostatic atraction between cations and anions permits the formation of crystals, which are stuctures characterized by a regular pattern. In solid state the ions are in fixed positions.

In order to conduct electricity, the charged particles (cations and anions in the case of the ionic compounds) need to  move freely.

Hence, since in solid state,  ionic compounds do not conduct electric current. But, <em>in molten (liquid) state or in aqueous solution, ionic compounds conduct electric current because, then, the ions move freely.</em>

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Methanol and butanol are alcohols. Alcohols have the same_______________ as alkanes and the __________ identifies the compound as an alcohol.

Explanation:

Alcohols belong to a group of organic compounds which contain -OH group as the functional group.

So alcohols have the same carbon -hydrogen bonds as alkanes and the        -OH functional group identifies the compound as an alcohol.

Answer:

solution:-a homogenous mixture of two or more substances in relative amounts that can be varied continuously up to what is called the limit of solubility.

solute:-is a substance, usually a solid, that is dissolved in a solution, which is usually a liquid.

solvent:-substance, ordinarily a liquid, in which other materials dissolve to form a solution.

polar molecule:-is a molecule in which one end of the molecule is slightly positive, while the other end is slightly negative.

Nonpolar molecules occur when electrons are shared equal between atoms of a diatomic molecule or when polar bonds in a larger molecule cancel each other out.

concentration refers to the amount of a substance in a defined space.
