Does copper ll chloride conduct electricity in the aqueous state?

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.


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.
