Conduction of electricity requires the free movement of charged particles, be they electrons or ions. In solid NaCl, the Na+ or Cl- ions are bound to each other in a rigid crystal structure. They cannot move freely, so cannot conduct electricity. In NaCl solutions, the ions exist separately in solution and can move freely; carrying the current.

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.
Can an aqueos solution of NaCl conduct electricity?
Yes, because the solution of NaCl is an electrolyte.
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.
Predict and explain which of the following systems are electrically conducters asolid Nacl bmolten Nacl can aqueous solution Nacl?
Molten NaCl and aqueous solution of NaCl will conduct elecctricity due to the presence of free (movable) ions.
Does sodium chloride conduct electricity in solution?
In an aqueous solution sodium chloride can in fact conduct electricity. This is because within an aqueous solution ions are free to move while as a solid NaCl will not conduct any electricity
Is NaCl an non electrolyte?
NaCl is an ionic compound. In water it dissolves completely forming ions. Since it dissolves completely forming Na^+ and Cl^- ions it is classified as a strong electrolyte.Strong electrolytes are completely dissociated into ions in solution and conduct an electrical current strongly.Weak electrolytes are only partly dissociated (examples are molecules like acetic acid which forms a weak electrolyte).Nonelectrolytes do not form ions at all and do not conduct electricity in their solutions.
What is A 0.0 percent NaCl Solution?
A 0.0% NaCl solution is a solution with absolutely no NaCl.
Can glucose and NaCl conduct electricity?
Yes NaCl can conduct the electricity........but i am not sure about Glucose
What happen when NaCl dissolves in water?
it inozies, and turns into salt water and forms hydrated ions
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
Why is NaCl solution a good conductor but NaCl solid not?
for the conductance of electricity freely moving ions and electrons are necessary. But in NaCl (in solid form) Na positive ion and Cl negative ion are held together by strong electrostatic force and there is no freely moving ion in NaCl (in solid state) therefore NaCl does not conduct electricity in solid form.
