solid nacl although contains ions and is an electrolyte does not conduct electricity because it does not have free valency electrons to move and thus the e- are bounded and this is the reason it does not conduct electricity
Solid NaCl does contain neither free ions nor free electrons, whereas liquid and aqueous NaCl have free flowing ions. It's the reason that solid NaCl doesn't 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

Cesium Chloride can only conduct electricity in water or while molten. Once cesium chloride is in a solid state it will not conduct electricity.
no
The solid calcium chloride is not an electrolyte.
Solid sodium chloride doesn't conduct electricity.
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.
Sodium chloride is not electrically conductive.
No. Solid Sodium Chloride does not conduct electricity, unless is melted or disolved in water.
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
When it is a solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
Sodium is a metal having free electrons; solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.
Melted sodium chloride is an electrolyte containing the cation Na+and the anion Cl-.
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
When NaCl in in solid state.
Because sodium and sodium chloride are two different things. Even though sodium is in sodium chloride when you mix two elements you create a new compound.
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.
