प्रश्न
Ionic solids conduct electricity in molten state but not in solid state. Explain
Advertisements
उत्तर १
In ionic compounds, electricity is conducted by ions. In solid state, ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces and are not free to move about within the solid. Hence, ionic solids do not conduct electricity in solid state. However, in molten state or in solution form, the ions are free to move and can conduct electricity.
उत्तर २
In solid state, the ions cannot move, they are held by strong electrostatic forces of attraction. So, ionic solids do not conduct electricity in solid state. However, in the molten state, they dissociate to give free ions and hence conduct electricity.
