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.

Answer:

Two electrons fit in the first shell out from the nucleus and eight fit in the second. Every element with more protons than the two of Helium needs to work on shells outside the first one. one you get to ten, you have filled the first two shells.

In a water molecule, oxygen forms one covalent bond with EACH of TWO hydrogen atoms. As a result, the oxygen atom has a stable arrangement of 8 valence electrons. Each hydrogen atom forms only one bond because it needs only two electrons to be stable.
