Is NaCl an insulator or conductor?

Answer 1

Hi,

Salt itself is an insulator of electricity.

The conductivity of any solution depends on the movement of ions.

Ions are the charged species of the atom.

In salt the movement of these ions are not possible. Thus, it is a bad conductor.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Solid sodium chloride is an electrical insulator.

Answer 3

Solid sodium chloride is an insulator.

Liquid sodium chloride and water solutions are conductors.

Answer 4

Salt water is not an electrical insulator.
