Interpretation:
Whether isopropanol will conduct electricity or not must be explained.
Concept introduction:
Isopropanol is an organic compound with covalent bonds.
Answer to Problem SV3RQ
Isopropanol will not conduct electricity.
Explanation of Solution
Isopropanol is a covalent molecule as shown below.
Generally, a solution containing ions is responsible for conduction of electricity. The hydrogen attached to oxygen in the hydroxyl group is not very acidic thus, it is not in dissociated form. Therefore, the solution is non-conducting in nature.
Isopropanol will not conduct electricity due to absence of free ions.
