Compounds and molecules such as LiOH will ionize partially when dissolved in water/solution.
Compounds and molecules such as C6H12O6 (sugar)will not conduct electricity when dissolved in water/solution.
Compounds and molecules such as C4H3 (butane) will ionize
completely when dissolved in water/solution.
Compounds and molecules such as NH3 will conduct electricity when
dissolved in water/solution.
Which are true? Please explain why.
Compounds and molecules such as LiOH will ionize partially when dissolved in water/solution
This statement is false because LiOH is a strong base which completely dissociates into ions when dissolved in water.
Compounds and molecules such as C6H12O6 (sugar) will not conduct electricity when dissolved in water/solution.
This statement is true because sugar does not dissociate into ions when dissolved in water and thus is incapable of conducting electricity.
Compounds and molecules such as C4H3 (butane) will ionize completely when dissolved in water/solution.
This statement is false because C4H3 (butane) is a hydrocarbon which does not dissolve in water as it is a non-polar compound.
Compounds and molecules such as NH3 will conduct electricity when dissolved in water/solution.
This statement is true because NH3 is a weak base which does not dissociate completely into ions when dissolved in water but still capable of conducting electricity.
