Manganese is a metal and is thus a good conductor of electricity due to its metallic bonding. Manganese Chloride is a salt and ionically bonded and thus only conducts electricity in solution where it ionizes or when molten. It is exactly the same situation with sodium chloride.
It doesn't. Aluminum Chloride does not conduct electricity in either solid or liquid state. This is because in solid state the ions aren't free to move. In the liquid it is present as a covalent dimer, Al2Cl6.
Just as it melts the conductivity rises then falls again as it fully melts.
solid sodium chloride is an ionic solid which has a crystal lattice and has all the electrons tightly packed so no electron free to move means no conduction of electricity while in molten form conduction is there because the crystal lattice is broken and electrons are free to move...
Sodium chloride in solid form is not an electrolyte; in solution or melted NaCl is an electrolyte.
S
Beacause they consist of free ions which 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.
yes, molten sodium chloride may conduct the electricity but is not a good electrolyte.
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.
It does not conduct electricity
Cesium Chloride can only conduct electricity in water or while molten. Once cesium chloride is in a solid state it will not conduct electricity.

The element copper can conduct electricity. These are two completely different chemical substances.
Yes, molten sodium chloride conduct electricity; the electrolysis is possible as an industrial process.

Sodium Chloride solution (dissolved in water) conducts electricity, and molten Sodium Chloride conducts electricty, but dry crystal Sodium Chloride does not 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

Melted sodium chloride is an electrolyte containing the cation Na+and the anion Cl-.
Not in its usual solid state. But like other ionic compounds calcium chloride will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
As aluminium oxide is an ionic compound, it conducts electricity in molten state.
