GCSE chemistry help!!
this question asking me why does potassium iodide conduct electricity, and the answer is because the ions move. but i thought its the electrons that move?? im confused?
Solid potassium iodide does not conduct electricity, molten/aqueous KI does conduct however. For a current to be conducted you need the movement of charge - this is very often electrons but does not need to be, instead it can be ions moving (here K+ ions and I- ions move and conduct a current)
