Question
in order for a solution to conduct electricity, the solution must have...
a) polar molecules.
b) a metal.
c) a separation of ions.
d) water.
e) non - polar molecules.
Conduction of electricity in a solution requires charged - particles that can move freely. Ions are charged particles. When ions are separated in a solution, they can carry an electric current. Polar and non - polar molecules are neutral and do not directly contribute to electrical conduction. A metal is not a requirement for a solution to conduct, and water alone (pure water) is a poor conductor without dissolved ions.
