Expert Answer:
The ice cubes doesn't conduct electricity. This is because-
- Conductors of electricity allow the electricity to flow through them.
- The electric current is passed through a conductor by the sea of electrons present within it.
- The electric current will flow only if these electrons move freely.
- When water is frozen; the mobility or the movement of the electrons within the ice is significantly decreased.
- As the icy lattice structure of the ice cube is formed, the electrons become rigid and dosen’t flow. Thus the ability of ice to conduct electricity is negligible.
