A material can conduct an electric current if Select one or more: a. it has some electrically charged particles that are delocalized b. it has some electrically charged particles that are loose c. it has some electrically charged particles that are located d. has electrically charged particles e. has some trapped electrically charged particles
A substance can only conduct electricity if it contains charged particles (electrons or ions) that are free to move around. Eg: In solid sodium chloride, there are ions but these ions are locked into the ionic lattice and are unable to move.
a. true- both the conditions are satisfied.. have charged particles and free to move
b. true- both the conditions are satisfied.. have charged particles and are loose so it is free to move and conduct electricity.
c. false- charge particles are there, but it cant move freely... hence it wont conduct electric current.
d. false- if that material has charged particle and it is not free to move(as it is not mentioned) so it cant conduct.
e. true - trapped chaged particles are mostly movable(solution phase) so it can conduct electricity.( depends on phase, it may not conduct also).
