Copper is conducting as such while `Cu SO_(4)` is conducting only in molten state or in aqueous solution. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Copper is conducting as such because it contains free electrons. `CuSO_(4)` is conducting in molten state or in aqueous solution because it gives ions only in the molten state or aqueous solution.
