- TL;DR Summary
- Can electrolysis be performed on an ionic compound in a gaseous state??
A metallic substance in solid or liquid form can conduct electricity because of its valence electrons.
An ionic substance in liquid form can conduct electricity through the movement of the ions but not as a solid.
A molecular substance cannot conduct electricity in solid nor liquid form.
In case you're wondering, these information are from a chemistry textbook but there is no mention of these substances in gas form. Would the gas form of any of the three substances conduct electricity if so which ones?
