Question

A substance joined by this type of bond will conduct electricity when in?​

Answer 1

Answer:

C.) If the solid is conductive, the bonds are metallic.

1) Substances with ionic bond conduct an electric current in liquid, but not in solid state, because in liquids ions are mobile, contrary to solids where ions are fixed.

2) Substances with covalent bond not conduct an electric current in liquid and solid state, because they not have free ions or electrons.

3) Substances with metallic  bond conduct an electric current in liquid and solid state, because they have mobile electrons. Most metals have strong metallic bond, because strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.
