Question

Explain why copper though a good conductor of electricity non-electrolyte?

Answer 1

1. Copper is a metallic element and a good conductor of electricity since it contains electrons in the valence shell.
2. The presence of free electrons makes compound conduct.
3. But copper is a non-electrolyte since it can't dissociate into ions in the solution state.
4. Electrolytes are the species that conduct electricity when present in the fused or liquid state.
5. Copper is a non-electrolyte because it cannot be dissociated into respective ions when present in the liquid state or fused state.
