  • An ionic compound will not conduct electricity as a solid.
  • It will conduct electricity when melted.
  • Some ionic compounds are soluble. Their solutions in water also conduct electricity.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

A substance should contain charged particles that are free to move around in order to conduct electricity.

Ionic compounds contain an ocean of ions. They carry either positive or negative charges. Attractions between them hold them in a rigid lattice under the solid state. Those ions are unable to move. The ionic compound can't conduct electricity.

Melting the ionic compound will break the lattice. Those ions are now free to move to conduct electricity. Dissolving the compound in water will also free the ions. As a result, those solutions will also conduct electricity.

Conductivity under different states distinguishes between ionic compounds, molecular compounds, and metals.

  • Ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted but not as a solid.
  • Molecular compounds have no charged particles. They do not conduct electricity even when melted.
  • Valence electrons in metals are free to move both when the metal is a solid and when it is melted. Metals conduct electricity under both solid and liquid states.

Identify ways to reduce the risk of liquid bumping while heating.
postnew [5]

The most common way of preventing bumping is by adding one or two boiling chips to the reaction vessel. However, these alone may not prevent bumping and for this reason it is advisable to boil liquids in a boiling tube, a boiling flask, or an Erlenmeyer flask.

Consider the chemical equation in equilibrium.
Andrew [12]
When pressure in a chemical reaction increases, the equilibrium will shift towards the side of the reaction with fewer moles of gas. When there is a decrease in pressure, the equilibrium will shift towards the side of the reaction with more moles of gas.Therefore; in this case; increased the Equilibrium will shift to the left and favor the reverse reaction. This is because the side of products has more moles compared to the side of reactants, thus increased in pressure will aid conversion of products to reactants.

Na + O2 → Na2O2<br> Can you guys help me !
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming that you are asking for the full-balanced equations...

2Na + O2 = Na2O2

H2 + O2 = H2O2; This equation is already balanced, there is no need for change.  

Please let me know if this is not the answer you are looking for and I will amend the answer.
