yes, because it is an ionic compund, made of the ionic bond of sodium and chloride. an ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal and sodium is a metal while chloride is a nonmetal.

Is aqueous sodium chloride is a good conductor of electric current?
Yes, aqueous sodium chloride solution is a good conductor of electricity. Since, it is an ionic salt, when dissolved in water it dissociates into ions and thus the free ions conduct electricity.
Is sodium chloride is a good insulator of electric current?
Yes Sodium Chlorine is a good insulator because there is not lose electrons to participate in the current flow
Why is an electric current needed to form sodium and chlorine from the sodium chloride solution?
This may be a trick question, electrolyis of a sodium chloride solution produces chlorine at the anode but does not produce sodium at the cathode. Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride does however produce sodium and chlorine.
Is sodium an electrical conductor?
Sodium in its pure form (as opposed to a compound such as sodium chloride) is a metal, and like all metals is an excellent electrical conductor.
What solutions wiil be the poorest conductor of electrical current sucrose sodium chloride potassium nitrate lithium hydroxide sulfuric acid?
Sucrose, C12H22O11
Is an electric current conducted by a solution of sodium chloride?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.Sodium chloride in water solutions or molten sodium chloride are electrolytes.
Is aqueous sodium chloride is a good conductor of electric current?
Yes, aqueous sodium chloride solution is a good conductor of electricity. Since, it is an ionic salt, when dissolved in water it dissociates into ions and thus the free ions conduct electricity.
Does sodium chloride produce an electrical current?
Sodium chloride in solution or melted is a good conductor of electricity; but sodium chloride doesn't produce electricity.
Sodium chloride is conductor or insulator?
Crystalline sodium chloride is an insulator.Liquid or melted sodium chloride is a conductor.
Is sodium chloride liquid the best conductor of electricity?
Liquid sodium chloride is a conductor but not the best.
Is salt a conductor or an insulator?
salt water is a good conductor of electricity as it contains sodium and chloride ions to carry out current
Is dry solid sodium chloride a conductivity of electricity?
Not positive, but fairly sure that solid sodium chloride is not a conductor. Molten sodium chloride is a good conductor.
Why is sodium chloride not a conductor?
Because solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.
Is Salt Water an insulator or a conductor?
salt water is a good conductor of electricity as it contains sodium and chloride ions to carry out current
Conduction electricity for sodium chloride?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
Does sodium chloride conductor when melted?
Melted sodium chloride is electrically conductive.
What happens when electric current is passed through fused sodium chloride?
During this electrolysis are obtained chlorine and sodium.
