description
Compound 1 is a yellow solid made up of clusters of needle-like crystals.
It's a good electrical insulator when solid, but if crushed and dissolved in
water, the solution is a good conductor.
Compound 2 is a hard light gray solid made up of clusters of cube-shaped
crystals. It can easily be ground into a fine powder. If that powder is
compressed to form a block, the block is an insulator. However, if the
block is moistened slightly, it starts to conduct electricity much better.
Compound 3 is a deep red solid with a noticeable unpleasant smell. It
dissolves slightly in water, and a solution of 2 g in 100 mL of water
doesn't change the electrical conductivity of the water.
