let's start by finding the location on the periodic table for the atoms for substances that conduct when dissolved. what do you notice about where the atoms are (metals/non-metals/metalloids)?



Answer :

Both will conduct electricity.

  • Compound Cu(I) chloride - CuCl
  • Compound potassium iodide = KI

Solution:

Both compounds are ionic compounds and in molten or in aqueous solution, both will provide the ions. Ions are conducting chemical species.

As we see the position of K, I, Cu, and Cl in the periodic table, we observe that -

K, Cu are metals

I, Cl are nonmetals.

So when compounds are formed by metals and nonmetals by electrostatic attraction force they are ionic compounds and they are conducting material.

Substances that are insoluble in water and do not conduct electricity are composed of non-metallic atoms. Metals are to the left of the line, non-metals are to the right of the line, and the elements immediately next to the line are semimetals. The physical and chemical properties of the atoms of an element depend on their electronic configuration.
