Naphthalene is a Ionic Substance. Hence, Ionic substance do not conduct when solid. But they do conduct when melted or dissolved in water - and they decompose at the same time.
Therefor molten Naphthalene conduts electricity as the ions become free to move when dissolved in water.

∙ 11y agoOnly metals, ionic compounds and covalent network compounds with delocalised electrons conduct electricity. Naphthalene is a covalent compound with delocalised electrons, but it exists as discrete molecules; not as a network. Thus it can't conduct electricity.

Mercury the element ability to conduct electricity?
You can conduct electricity through liquid mercury.
Can liquid conduct electricity?
sure
What does liquid do to electricity?
It depends on the liquid. Pure water does not conduct electricity, but salt water does.
What do we call the liquid which do not conduct electricity called?
Insulators
Why does liquid pentane not conduct electricity?
Liquid pentane does not conduct electricity because it has a net charge. This is as a result of the liquid not being an ion.
Does liquid conduct electricity?
Liquids containing dissociable solutes conduct electricity.
Will metals conduct electricity in liquid form?
Yes, metals will conduct electricity in liquid form because of the free electrons.
Mercury the element ability to conduct electricity?
You can conduct electricity through liquid mercury.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity?
No. Covalent substances do not conduct electricity in solid or liquid state.
Why Mercury not cunduct electricity?
Liquid mercury does conduct electricity!
What is a liquid called when it can conduct electricity?
ELECTROLYTES
What do you call the liquid which conduct electricity?
Electrolytes
Can liquid conduct electricity?
sure
Does liquid nitrogen conduct electricity?
Nope
Can covalent compounds conduct electricity as a liquid?
A compound with only covalent bonds will not conduct electricity as a liquid. However, some salts with covalently bonded ions, such as tetra-methyl ammonium chloride, will conduct electricity when melted.
What does liquid do to electricity?
It depends on the liquid. Pure water does not conduct electricity, but salt water does.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as liquid or solid?
covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in any state.
