Any metal salts on dissolution in water dissociates to form ions (Positively charged Cations and negatively charged anions). This ions are conducting electricity. For instance common salt NaCl on dissolution n water give Na+ cation and Cl- anion. Na+ ion move towards cathode - negative electrode and Cl- ion move towards anode - positive electrode. So electron transfer occurs indirectly which is responsible for the conduction of electrons. Salts which give more ions on dissolving in a solvent like water, has higher electrical conductance.

What else can I help you with?
What makes steel stain less?
The addition of other metals makes steel stainless.
Metals are good conductors of electicity?
the majoriy of metals are good conductors such as cooper and iron other metals such as gold are not
Are all types of metals good conductors?
No, not all metals are good conductors. Some metals, such as copper and aluminum, are excellent conductors of electricity and heat due to their large numbers of free electrons. Other metals, like lead and stainless steel, are poor conductors because their electrons are not as free to move.
What other things can be a conductor?
Other materials that can conduct electricity include metals such as copper, aluminum, and gold, as well as some carbon-based materials like graphite. In addition to metals, certain liquids and solutions, such as saltwater, can also act as conductors.
Is a metal and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are generally good conductors of electricity, as they have free-moving electrons that can carry electric current. Nonmetals, on the other hand, are poor conductors of electricity, as they lack free-moving electrons to conduct electricity effectively.
Metals and other materials that transfer heat and electricity easily are called?
Conductors
What makes copper different from any other metal?
Copper is different from other metals because of its color, which is a bright blend of red and orange. It is also one of the best conductors, and is relatively inexpensive.
What material make good conductors?
Good conductors of electricity are materials that allow electric current to flow easily through them. Metals such as copper, silver, and gold are excellent conductors due to their high electron mobility and low electrical resistance. Other materials like aluminum and iron are also decent conductors but not as efficient as pure metals.
Why are transition metals good conductors of electricity?
Metals behave in a rather unique way as far as their electrons are concerned.The electrons in metals are de-localised, which in effect means they are not bound to a particular atom, like a "sea of electrons".This property makes them good conductors of electricity because charged electrons can easily travel from one end of the metal to the other whilst maintaining that charge.
Why are most metals called good conductors?
Most metals are good conductors of electricity because they have a high density of free electrons that are able to flow easily through the material when a voltage is applied. This ability to carry electric current efficiently is what makes metals good conductors.
What are metals and other materials that transfer heat and electricity easily called?
They are called conductors. Metals such as copper and aluminum are good conductors of heat and electricity, whereas materials like rubber and wood are insulators, meaning they do not conduct heat and electricity easily.
Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
No, nonmetals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity. This is because they do not have freely moving electrons that can carry the heat or electric charge effectively. Metals, on the other hand, are good conductors due to the presence of delocalized electrons.
