- Metals such as copper, silver, and gold are excellent conductors of electricity due to the free-flowing electrons in their structure.
- Ionic compounds like table salt (sodium chloride) in solution can conduct electricity because they dissociate into ions that can carry electric charge.
- Graphite, a form of carbon, can conduct electricity due to its unique structure that allows electrons to move freely between the layers of carbon atoms.

Do detergents conduct electricity?
Detergents in general do not conduct electricity. However, some detergent solutions might be able to conduct electricity if they contain electrolytes or other conductive substances.
Does brass conduct electricty?
yes, as all it's constituent substances can also conduct electricity
Is air an electrolyte?
No, air is not an electrolyte. Electrolytes are substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in water, whereas air is a mixture of gases and does not conduct electricity in the same way.
Do substances which dissolve in water conduct an electric current?
Some do. Electrolytes, which are substances that break into ions when dissolved in water, will conduct electricity. Such substances include soluble salts, acids, and bases.Other water soluble substances are non electrolytes and do not break into ions in water, or at least do so in extremely minute amounts. They do not conduct electricity. These include alcohols, sugars, and some other polar compounds.
Why do you think substances that are made up pf molecules do not normally conduct electricity?
Substances made up of molecules do not usually conduct electricity because the electrons in their molecules are tightly bound and not free to move and carry an electric charge. This lack of free-moving charged particles means that the substance cannot conduct electricity like metals or ions.

Do simple molecular substances conduct electricity?
Most molecular substances do not conduct electricity since the ions don't dissociate very well with molecular substances. However, most ionic substances do conduct electricity very well due to their ability to dissociate very well in water.
What do the substances that conduct electricity once they are dissolved have in common?
333
What solutions of ionic substances that conduct electricity are called?
An Eletctolyte.
Do detergents conduct electricity?
Detergents in general do not conduct electricity. However, some detergent solutions might be able to conduct electricity if they contain electrolytes or other conductive substances.
What are the 3 substances that can generate electrical energy?
The three substances that can generate electrical energy are metals, such as copper and aluminum, which conduct electricity; electrolytes, such as acids and salts, which conduct electricity through their ions; and semi-conductive materials, such as silicon, which can be used in devices like solar panels to convert light into electricity.
Does brass conduct electricty?
yes, as all it's constituent substances can also conduct electricity
Can electricity flow through all substances?
I don't think so; rubber doesn't conduct electricity
Why is carbon needed to conduct electricity?
It isn't. Electricity is conducted by lots of substances, for example most metals.
Is air an electrolyte?
No, air is not an electrolyte. Electrolytes are substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in water, whereas air is a mixture of gases and does not conduct electricity in the same way.
Does black pepper conduct electricity?
yes it does, because black pepper has ions for it to conduct electricity.
Can ionic substances conduct electricity when in a solid state?
They are conductive in solution or melted.
