Electrolysis and Electric Conductors Quiz

Because it can conduct electricity due to free electrons moving between layers in its structure.

Electrolytes

Because they don't have ions

<p>Ionic substances in the solid form do not conduct electricity, while they do in the molten state.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The primary purpose of electrolysis is to bring about chemical changes by passing current electricity through various substances in the molten and/or aqueous states. Its key applications include the extraction of useful metals, electroplating, and testing the conduction of electricity in solids.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Conductors allow an electric current to pass through them, whereas insulators do not. In conductors, no chemical changes occur when electricity passes through them.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Metals are conductors of electricity due to the delocalised electrons within the metal, which are responsible for the flow of current electricity throughout the metal. The electrons in the outer shell of the atoms of a metal move freely throughout the metal.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Graphite is the only non-metal that conducts electricity, and it does so due to its delocalised electrons. Like metals, graphite has delocalised electrons that allow it to conduct electricity.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>An ammeter is used to measure the current (flow of current) in a circuit, which arises from the flow of electrons. The ammeter reads a current when the solid conducts electricity.</p> Signup and view all the answers
