It seems like you are searching for" Which of the following conducts electricity?
(A) Crystalline NaCl
(B) Fused NaCl
(C) Molten sulphur
(D) Diamond
Answer:
Fused NaCl conducts electricity.
Explanation:
- Ionic compounds in solids do not conduct electricity because their rigid structure prevents the movement of ions in solids. However, ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted. This is possible in the molten state as the heat overcomes the electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions. Therefore, the ions move freely and conduct electricity.
- Molten sulphur and diamond are non-metals so they don't conduct electricity.
