Beacause they consist of free ions which conduct electricity
Potassium chloride is an ionic solid, the ionic solids can conduct the electricity if they are in molten state or in aqueous solution.
yes, molten sodium chloride may conduct the electricity but is not a good electrolyte.
In the molten state the ions of sodium chloride are free to move. Magnesium chloride would also conduct if it were molten. Since the ions of the magnesium chloride are bound together in the crystal lattice they cannot carry a current.
It does not conduct 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.

Not in its usual solid state. But like other ionic compounds calcium chloride will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.

The element copper can conduct electricity. These are two completely different chemical substances.
Yes, molten sodium chloride conduct electricity; the electrolysis is possible as an industrial process.

Sodium Chloride solution (dissolved in water) conducts electricity, and molten Sodium Chloride conducts electricty, but dry crystal Sodium Chloride does 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
Melted sodium chloride is an electrolyte containing the cation Na+and the anion Cl-.
Water solution of sodium chloride or molten NaCl are conductors.
