Why does NaCl in water conduct electricity and not NaCl when it is dry and How is this different from sugar?

1. Water solution of sodium chloride is an electrolyte containing ions as Na+ and Cl-.
2. Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.
3. Also sugar is not an electrolyte.

Does sugar conduct electricity why?
No, sugar does not conduct electricity because it can not ionize, so it does not carry a charge.(in the matter of dissolving it in water!)
Can sugar mixed with water conduct electricity?
Yes
Does pure water conduct any electricity at all?
No, pure water does not conduct electricity because there are no other solutions present. For the water to conduct electricity, there has to be an electrolyte. Salt water, Tap water, and sugar water do conduct a little electricity because they contain soluble ionic compounds.
Why doesn't sugar placed in water conduct electricity?
For a fluid to conduct electricity, it must contain ions. Ions carry electrons through the fluid, making the fluid a conductor. Sugar (C6H12O6) does not conduct electricity because the molecule is non-polar. When it is mixed with water, no ions are formed because water, a polar molecule, will not dissolve this compound by the principle "like dissolves like". Because there are no ions in this mixture, sugar will not conduct electricity.
Can you make electricity using energy drinks?
Nope. Sugar water doesn't carry or conduct electricity.
What would conduct electricity when mixed with water salt oxygen sugar or oil?
salt
Would salt sugar oil or oxygen conduct electricity when mixed with water?
salt
Sugar solution does not conduct electricity because it does not contain?
Answer: A sugar solution does not conduct electricity because it does not contain ions. Sugar is not an electrolyte -- a substance which ionizes when dissolved in water.Answer: Sugar, as a non-electrolyte substance, does not produce ions when dissolved in water. A solution of sugar contains molecules of sucrose, but no ions. The absence of ions in a sugar aqueous solution makes it a non electricity conductor fluid.
How do water conduct electricity?
Water can conduct electricity. I know this because when it rains water can spin a turbine which power electricity from movement
Would conduct electricity mixed with water?
A water solution containing ions conduct electricity.
What mixes with water that can conduct electricity?
An ionic compound dissolved in water is an electrolyte and can conduct electricity.
Does water conduct battery electricity?
It doesn't conduct electricity if it is pure water as there are no flowing ions. But in un-pure water electricity can be conducted.
