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.
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.
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.
Solid sodium chloride is neutral and nonconductive.In solution sodium chloride is dissolved and dissociated and become conductive; the same in the melt.
