Chemistry
1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

It does not contain free mobile ions

Explanation:

Solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity because it does not contain free mobile ions.

  • Although sodium chloride is an ionic compound, in solid state, there is absence of free mobile ions.
  • In aqueous solutions or in molten form, ionic compounds can conduct an electric current using free mobile ions as carriers.
  • Therefore, they are electrolytes.

In solid state ions are arranged into crystal lattice and will not conduct a current of electricity.

NeX [460]
Answer:

The answer to your question would be substance, but chocolate power mixed into milk would be more of a suspension.

Explanation:

Neither chocolate powder nor milk are elements. They are both complex molecules. Their mixture will not result in the formation of a compound since no chemical reaction will take place.

The molecules of the chocolate powder will simply intermingle with the fatty molecules of the milk to form the substance.

When thoroughly mixed the solution will become homogeneous so there will be no lumps of chocolate power visible. But after time, the chocolate will become visible at the bottom of the clear container in which we asked you to prepare the mixture.

HOPE THIS HELPS :)
