Question

5. Which of the following types of bond will have the highest electrical
conductivity?
A. lonic bond
C. Covalent bond
B. Polar covalent bond
D. Non-polar covalent bond​

Answer 1

answer is A. lonic bond

Answer 2

Option(A) ionic bond has the highest electrical conductivity.

We are required to find the type of bond which will have the highest electrical conductivity.

Electrical conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct electricity.

• Covalent bonds and non-polar covalent bonds do not conduct electricity because both the bonds don't have charge-carrying ions or polarity.
• Polar covalent bonds due to the availability of polarization conduct electricity in a molten state(liquid) but the electrical conductivity is less.
• Ionic bonds have separate opposite charges so they're free to carry electrical current in a molten state or aqueous solution.

Due to the availability of separate current carrying charges ionic bonds have the highest electrical conductivity than polar covalent bonds.

Therefore, Option(A) ionic bond has the highest electrical conductivity.
