Does sodium chloride conduct electricity in solution?
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
Explain why solid citric acid does not conduct electricity but a solution of citric acid in water does?
In water citric acid gives about 3% ions free when dissolved, they can carry 'charge' from one pole to the other opposite pole. In crystallic form ions can't move.
Can nickel chloride conduct electricity and is it a liqiuid or a solid?
Fully Solid in room temperature!
Does potassium choloride conduct electrisity?
When it's in a solid form no but if it is a liquid (when placed in a solution) then yes it does conduct electricity.
Why does potassium chloride 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.

Can ionic substances conduct electricity when in a solid state?
They are conductive in solution or melted.

Potassium chloride is an ionic solid, the ionic solids can conduct the electricity if they are in molten state or in aqueous solution.
Does sugar in solid form conduct electricity?
well technically anything can conduct electricity..... but that doesnt mean it will be easier because of higher and lower resistances.
Why does salt not conduct electricity?
Salts in solid form will not conduct electricity as the ions cannot be in motion. However when salts are dissolved in aqueous medium (to form solution), they will conduct electricity. Also salts conduct electricity in molten (or fused) state.
Will an ionic compound conduct electricity as a solid?
Ionic compounds are conductors in solution or melted.
Can sucrose conduct electricity as a solid or in-solution?
Sucrose can not conduct significant electric currents in either solid form or in solution in water, because sucrose does not contain ions in its solid form and does not ionize when it dissolves in water.
Why potassium iodide can conduct electricity in the molten state but not in solid state?
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.
Why can a solution of salt water conduct electricity but a solid salt cannot?
Water is a better conductor.
