A. Aqueous solutions of acids, bases, and salts C. Soluble salts


B. Solid ionic compounds D. Molten ionic compounds
Answer: B

Explanation: Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electricity due to the rigid
lattice structure.
14. The conductivity of a metallic conductor is generally higher than that of an
electrolytic conductor because:

A. Electrons are more mobile than ions


B. Metals have a higher density
C. Metals are harder than electrolytes
D. Metals have a lower melting point

Answer: A

Explanation: Electrons have higher mobility compared to ions.


15. Which of the following is a non-metallic conductor?

A. Copper B. Graphite C. Iron D. Silver


Answer: B

Explanation: Graphite is an allotrope of carbon that conducts electricity due to the


presence of delocalized electrons.

16. The conductivity of a metal is primarily determined by:


A. The number of free electrons C. The mass of the metal
B. The volume of the metal D. The density of the metal
Answer: A

Explanation: More free electrons mean higher conductivity.
