for the conductance of electricity freely moving ions and electrons are necessary. But in NaCl (in solid form) Na positive ion and Cl negative ion are held together by strong electrostatic force and there is no freely moving ion in NaCl (in solid state) therefore NaCl does not conduct electricity in solid form.

Is NaCl a good conductor?
Sodium chloride is an electrolyte only in water solutions or when is melted. Solid sodium chloride is not a conductor of electricity.
Why is solid NaCl is a non conductor of electricity?
Na Cl in solid form is nonconductor because Na and Cl ions are strongly held by electrostatic forces but when dissolved in water or in molten state Na Cl is good conductor of electricity..
Is soap a good conductor of electricity?
This solution is not a good conductor.
Why is NaCl and KI a conductor of electricity?
In dry or crystalline form, salt (Sodium Chloride) is a poor conductor. But when it is dissolved in water, the sodium forms Na+ ions and the Chlorine forms Cl- ions. With these extra ions in the water, it is easy for electrons to be carried through the solution and current to flow.
Is KCl a good electrical conductor?
yes KCl of potassium chloride is a good conductor of electricty, but ONLY when in an aqueous (water solution) or in molten (fused) state. It doesnot conduct in solid state.
Is KCL(s) a good conductor of electricity?
yes KCl of potassium chloride is a good conductor of electricty, but ONLY when in an aqueous (water solution) or in molten (fused) state. It doesnot conduct in solid state.
Is Magnesium Chloride a good conductor?
Magnesium chloride is a good conductor if melted or dissolved in an ionization promoting solvent; as a solid it is not a good conductor.
Is sugar solution a good conductor?
no salt solution is the conductor of electricity as sugar doesn't have as great an ionization as table salt
Is salt water a conductor or a insulator?
insulator.
Why does sodium chloride have a low conductivity?
The boiling point of sodium chloride is 1 413 0C and it is not so low.
Soft low melting solid which is a good conductor of heat?
The metal lead. Solid at room temps, low melting point, good conductor of heat and electricity.
Which substance meets the requirements cubic solid poor electrical conductor in the solid state good conductor when fused a sodium chloride b diamond c sulfur d chromium?
A, sodium chloride, because it is a crystalline solid. It has an ionic bond when in it's solid form and is a poor conductor. It is a good conductor of electricity in an aqueous state or when fused.
