Why are most solid ionic compounds electrically nonconductive, whereas aqueous solutions of ionic compounds are good conductors

Chemistry
1 answer:
Allisa [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

there must be free-moving electrons in a compound to conduct electricity.

in solid ionic compounds, there are no free electrons so it can't conduct electricity.

But in aqueous form the forces of attraction are broken and the ions (cations and anions) are free to move. This means there are free electrons that allow the aqueous compound to conduct electricity.

In order for matter or energy to be conserved, one must have a ____ system.
Leya [2.2K]
Closed system.  If the system is not closed, matter or energy can escape from the system.  an example of this is if you react magnesium and hydrochloric acid in a open system.  The H₂ gas is going to escape making it look like some of the mass disappeared .  in that same reaction some in an open system will also loose heat to the surrounding which will make it look like less heat was produced.
