Is Sodium chloride do they conduct electric city?

Sodium Chloride solution (dissolved in water) conducts electricity, and molten Sodium Chloride conducts electricty, but dry crystal Sodium Chloride does not conduct electricity.


Why does a mixture of sodium chloride and water conduct electricity but sodium chloride crystal does not?

Sodium chloride solution is an electrolyte containg ions as Na+ and Cl-. Sodium solid crystal is not an electrolyte, is not dissociated.


Why does sodium chloride and water conduct electricity but a sodium chloride crystal does not?

In water sodium chloride is dissociated and the solution become an electrolyte, electrically conductive. The solid NaCl is not an electrolyte.


Why dont sodium chloride crystal conduct electricity?

Sodium Chloride does not conduct electicity because it is not a metal.Chemical Law: The electrons are unable to move through the latice as they could in a metal and therefore cannot carry electrical charge. Dissolving Sodium Chloride in water will enable it to conduct electricity as the electrons become free to move.


Can solid sodium chloride conduct elcetricity?

Solid sodium chloride doesn't conduct electricity.


Why does sodium chloride conducts electricity not when a solid?

When solid sodium chloride dos not conduct electricity because the ions are tightly bound in the ionic crystal lattice. When molten or when dissolved the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.


What would be formed when sodium chloride is dissolved in water?

When sodium chloride is dissolved in water, it dissociates into sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). This forms a solution of sodium chloride where the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.


What does sodium chloride conduct?

Sodium chloride conduct electricity only when is as an electrolyte: in water solution or melted.


Does Sodium chloride solid conduct electricity?

Sodium chloride is not electrically conductive.


Does sodium chloride conduct electricity in trichloromethane?

No


Does sodium chloride conduct electricity in ethanol?

No, sodium chloride does not conduct electricity in ethanol because ethanol is a nonpolar solvent that does not dissociate ionic compounds like sodium chloride. Sodium chloride only dissolves in ethanol, it does not ionize to form free ions that can conduct electricity.


Do sodium chloride crystals conduct electricity?

Solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
