How could you make sodium chloride conduct electricity?

Sodium chloride conducts electricity, but only if dissolved in water. When dissolved in water the ions in this ionic compound break down into both positively and negatively charged ions . It is then that sodium chloride can conduct electricity through these ions.


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.
