NaCl does conduct electricity, but in the an aqueous form or when melted because the bonds holding Na+ and Cl- ions together are dissociated by either the polar nature of water, or by the heat provided to cause melting.
The same happens with NaOH, except the ions are Na+ and OH-.

Would NaOH conduct electricity?
Like other ionic compounds NaOH will not conduct electricity in its solid form, but will if dissolved in water or molten.
Nacl does the solution conduct electricity?
A solution of NaCl in a solvent in which the cations and anions separate, for example in water, can conduct electricity.
In what state does NaCl conduct electricity?
NaCl can conduct electricity in the molten state, and when dissociated into its constituent ions in water, Na2+ and Cl-.
Can an aqueos solution of NaCl conduct electricity?
Yes, because the solution of NaCl is an electrolyte.
Why Solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity?
solid nacl although contains ions and is an electrolyte does not conduct electricity because it does not have free valency electrons to move and thus the e- are bounded and this is the reason it does not conduct electricity
How does bonding in NaCl allow it to conduct electricity?
ionic compound
What is an ionic compound dissolved in water that can conduct electricity?
NaCl
Will NaCl dissolved with glucose solution conduct electricity?
yes
When does sodium chloride not conduct electricity?
Solid NaCl is not an electrolyte; the saline solution or the molten NaCl are electrolytes.
Combination of HCl and NaOH?
The product is sodium chloride.The reaction is:NaOH + HCl - NaCl + H2O
Why cant NaCl conduct electricity in solid form?
one simple answer is that whan NaCl is solid the ions Na+ and Cl- are not free to move and conduct the electricity. when in a aqeous solution and as a liquid the ions are free to move and the electricity can be conducted. hope this helps
When can sodium chloride losses the ability to conduct electricity?
When NaCl in in solid state.
