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.

Can solid sodium chloride conduct elcetricity?
Solid sodium chloride doesn't conduct electricity.
Conduction electricity for sodium chloride?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
Why does a sodium chloride crystal not conduct electricity?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.
Does Sodium chloride solid conduct electricity?
Sodium chloride is not electrically conductive.
Do sodium chloride crystals conduct electricity?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
Is dry solid sodium chloride a conductivity of electricity?
Not positive, but fairly sure that solid sodium chloride is not a conductor. Molten sodium chloride is a good conductor.
Solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity but in molten state conduts electricity readily.Why?
Melted sodium chloride is an electrolyte containing the cation Na+and the anion Cl-.
Why does sodium chloride conduct electricity in crystalline form?
When it is a solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
Why is sodium chloride different from sodium chloride crystals in its electricity conductivity?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.Sodium chloride in water solutions or molten sodium chloride are electrolytes.
How does calcium chloride conduct electricity?
In solid form calcium chloride doesn't conduct electricity, but dissolved in water it conducts electricity quite well.
Does solid sodium chloride conduct an electrical current?
No. Solid Sodium Chloride does not conduct electricity, unless is melted or disolved in water.
