Frequently asked questions

Why do ionic compounds conduct only when molten or dissolved?

The ions are free to move in a liquid or solution, but are fixed in place in the solid lattice.

Why does graphite conduct electricity?

Each carbon atom forms three bonds, leaving one delocalised electron that can carry charge.
