Which of the following substances would be a poor choice for making conductive solutions?

a)
c6h12o6, ch3oh, ch3ch2oh

b)
hcl, kbr, hno3

c)
naoh, koh, lioh

a)  C₆H₁₂O₆, CH₃OH, CH₃CH₂OH

Explanation:

For a solution to be conductive, it requires to have electrolytes, that is, species that dissociate into ions and carry electrical charges.

Which of the following substances would be a poor choice for making conductive solutions?

a)  C₆H₁₂O₆, CH₃OH, CH₃CH₂OH

These species are formed exclusively by covalent bonds and they are non-electrolytes, that is, they practically do not form ions in water. Therefore, a solution containing these species would be poorly conductive.

b)  HCl, KBr, HNO₃

The species are formed by ionic and covalent bonds and are electrolytes. Thus, their solutions are conductive.

c)  NaOH, KOH, LiOH

The species are formed by ionic and covalent bonds and are electrolytes. Thus, their solutions are conductive.

"hydrogen bonding is the attraction of h atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to o atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. but it is still strong enough to the water molecules "stick" together."

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
