Why does salt not conduct electricity?

Salts in solid form will not conduct electricity as the ions cannot be in motion. However when salts are dissolved in aqueous medium (to form solution), they will conduct electricity. Also salts conduct electricity in molten (or fused) state.


Do all salts conduct electricity?

The electrical properties of salts are very different.


Why salt water conduct electricity while distilled water cannot?

Dissolved and liquid salts are electrolytes and do conduct electricity. All natural waters have salts in them. Water only conducts electricity, when salts have dissolved in the water. Distilled water aka water without any salts is a nonelectrolyte and does not, as any other oxide, conduct electricity.


Why are some liquids and some gas conductors of electricity?
