Aqueous solutions of substances involving polar covalent bonds such as HCI, `NH_3` and `CH_3 COOH` conduct electricity. Give reason.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why aqueous solutions of substances involving polar covalent bonds such as HCl, NH3, and CH3COOH conduct electricity, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electrical Conductivity**: - For a solution to conduct electricity, it must contain charged particles (ions) that can move freely. These charged particles are necessary to carry the electric current. 2. **Polar Covalent Bonds**: ...
