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.

Which type of model is a way of imagining how something works?​
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

mental model is an explanation of someone's thought process about how something works in the real world. It is a representation of the surrounding world, the relationships between its various parts and a person's intuitive perception about his or her own acts and their consequences. Mental models can help shape behaviour and set an approach to solving problems (similar to a personal algorithm) and doing tasks.

Which area of the periodic table has the highest electronegatvities
krok68 [10]

The area where the periodic table has the highest electronegativity are Groups 1 and Groups 7 because they are close on giving away an electron and the other is close to becoming stable.

Consider the electrolysis of molten barium chloride (bacl2). write the half-reactions. include the states of each species.
aksik [14]
Molten barium chloride is separeted into two species :
BaCl₂(l) → Ba(l) + Cl₂(g),
but first ionic bonds in this salt are separeted because of heat:
BaCl₂(l) → Ba²⁺(l) + 2Cl⁻(l).

Reaction of reduction at cathode(-): Ba²⁺(l) + 2e⁻ → Ba(l).

Reaction of oxidation at anode(+): 2Cl⁻(l) → Cl₂(g) + 2e⁻.

<span>The anode is positive and the cathode is negative.</span>
