Molten and Aqueous Sodium Chloride conduct electricity because the ions are free to move where as is a solid they have no free room. This is the same for magnesium chloride. In aluminum chloride and phosphorus chloride the solid doesn't conduct electricity because the ions aren't free to move. In liquid form they have converted into a covalent form, and so don't conduct either. All of the other chloride don't conduct electricity because they have no free ions or electrons when solid or liquid.
What else can I help you with?
Is Sodium chloride do they conduct electric city?
Sodium Chloride solution (dissolved in water) conducts electricity, and molten Sodium Chloride conducts electricty, but dry crystal Sodium Chloride does not conduct electricity.
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-.
Can sodium chloride conduct in heat?
Sodium chloride (table salt) can conduct electricity in its molten state or when dissolved in water, but not in its solid form. Heat does not directly affect its ability to conduct electricity.
Why sodium chloride will conduct electricity when molten?
Sodium chloride conducts electricity when molten because the ions in the molten state are free to move and carry electric charge through the substance. In the solid state, the ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move to conduct electricity.
If you could melt a sample of sodium chloride would you expect it to conduct electricity?
yes, molten sodium chloride may conduct the electricity but is not a good electrolyte.
Why does molten sodium chloride conduct electricity but crystalline magnesium chloride does not?
In the molten state the ions of sodium chloride are free to move. Magnesium chloride would also conduct if it were molten. Since the ions of the magnesium chloride are bound together in the crystal lattice they cannot carry a current.
What ways can you alter the state of sodium chloride so that it will conduct electricity?
Water solution of sodium chloride or molten NaCl are conductors.
Does copper sodium chloride electricity when molten?
Copper and molten sodium chloride are electrical conductors.
Is sodium azide a good conductor of electricity?
Not in it's usual solid state. But sodium chloride will conduct electricity of molten or dissolved in water.
When does sodium chloride not conduct electricity?
Solid NaCl is not an electrolyte; the saline solution or the molten NaCl are electrolytes.
Is molten NaCl conducting electricity?
Yes, molten NaCl (sodium chloride) is conducting electricity. When solid NaCl is melted, the ionic bonds between sodium and chloride ions are broken, allowing the ions to move freely in the liquid. These mobile charged particles can carry an electric current, making molten NaCl a conductor of electricity.
Are there forms in which sodium chloride conducts electricity?
In order to conduct electricity, sodium chloride has to separate into its ionic forms (sodium ions and chloride ions). It does this in a water (aqueous) solution and also when in molten form, which is when heated above 801 °C.
