Aqueous solution of sodium chloride conducts electricity because it is a soluble ionic compound, which when dissolved in water, it dissociates into Na + and Cl -
ions. These ions are mobile charge carriers which can accept and transfer electrons in solution, and therefore facilitate the conduction of electricity.
Hope this helps,

Depending on strength (Ka-value) and concentration (M-value) and the number of protons per mole (eg. H2SO4) the electric conductance is positive. Protons are very good 'charge transporters' (i.e. conductance). since salts are present in the solution it becomes a good conductor of electricity.
aqueous solutions don't actually conduct electricity. however when salts are added to them they conduct electricity. and since the water around as has a percentage of salts so it conduct electricity.
aqueous solution of an acid release H+ ions ohr h3o and anode is solution. since ion are the carries of charge the aqueous solution of an acid conducts electrically.
Both acids and bases release ions when dissolved in water. Dissolved ions are the basis of electrical conductivity in water.
This solution is an electrolyte, contain ions.
they have mobility of charges.
no it's chemical substance and the ions do not conduct sulphur electricity when in aqueous solution!
Potassium Bromide or KBr is not able to conduct electricity in solid state. It is an ionic compound and its ions are not free to move in the solid state, hence they are not able to conduct electricity. But when they are in aqueous state, they are free to move and thus become able to conduct electricity.
Copper II chloride (CuCl2) is an ionic compound because copper is a metal and chloride is a non-metal. Like all ionic compounds in aqueous solutions (i.e., dissolved in water), it conducts electricity.
Cesium Chloride can only conduct electricity in water or while molten. Once cesium chloride is in a solid state it will not conduct electricity.
No, it is not. 'Solid sodium chloride doesn't conduct electricity, because there are no electrons which are free to move.' http://www.chemguide.co.uk/atoms/structures/ionicstruct.html
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
its depends in the amount of potassium chloride.
Potassium chloride is an ionic solid, the ionic solids can conduct the electricity if they are in molten state or in aqueous solution.

Because sodium chloride solution is an electrolyte, containing ions Na+ and Cl-. Solid NaCl is not an electrolyte.
Yes, aqueous sodium chloride solution is a good conductor of electricity. Since, it is an ionic salt, when dissolved in water it dissociates into ions and thus the free ions conduct electricity.
In order to conduct electricity, sodium chloride has to separate into its ionic forms (sodium ions and chloride ions). It does this in a water (aqueous) solution and also when in molten form, which is when heated above 801 °C.
Sodium chloride conduct electricity only when is as an electrolyte: in water solution or melted.
For a substance to conduct electricity, it must either have free electrons or have mobile ions. Since in solution NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions, it is capable of conducting electricity. In other words, aqueous NaCl conducts electricity. Molten sodium chloride is also a good conductor.
If the solution will conduct electricity it is ionic. Solutions made from molecules do not conduct electricity.
Yes, In molten state and in aqueous solution Nickel chloride conducts the electricity.
Hydrogen iodide is dissociated in water.
