Does liquid conduct electricity better than metals.?
To determine how much conductivity a substance has you need to know its “resistance”. You need to find the resistance of the metals you are talking about (try copper) and also the resistance of the liquid. I think the general concept behind why a solid conducts better than some liquids is because the atoms in a solid are closer together. It gets more complicated than that though. I found some more detailed info on this website: http://kywater.org/ww/ramp/rmcond.htm Conductivity is a measurement of the ability of an aqueous solution to carry an electrical current. An ion is an atom of an element that has gained or lost an electron which will create a negative or positive state. For example, sodium chloride (table salt) consists of sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-) held together in a crystal. In water it breaks apart into an aqueous solution of sodium and chloride ions. This solution will conduct an electrical cur
