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

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.
What is a Good conductor of electricity when mixed with water?
Soluble ionic compounds are excellent conductors of electricity when dissolved in water - such as sodium chloride (common salt)
Why will dry sodium chloride not conduct the electric current?
A substance can only conduct electricity if it contains charged particles (electrons or ions) that are free to move around. In solid sodium chloride, there are ions but these ions are locked into the ionic lattice and are unable to move. Ergo, solid sodium chloride is unable to conduct electricity.
How would a dry sample of sodium carbonate be obtained from a mixture of sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate?
Calcium carbonate is not soluble in water, sodium carbonate is soluble in water. Dissolve the mixture and filter: the Na2CO3 pass the filter as a solution and CaCO3 remain on the filter. Gently warm the solution to obtain crystallized sodium carbonate.
Why does a mixture of sodium chloride and water conduct electricity but sodium chloride crystal does not?
Sodium chloride solution is an electrolyte containg ions as Na+ and Cl-. Sodium solid crystal is not an electrolyte, is not dissociated.
Do sodium chloride conduct electricity in soluble?
Yes, in water solution or when is melted.
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.
Does soduim conduct electricity?
Yes, Sodium is a metal and it does conduct electricity.
Why doesn't sodium oxide conduct electricity?
covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity
Can solid sodium chloride conduct elcetricity?
Solid sodium chloride doesn't conduct electricity.
Why sodium chloride will conduct electricity when molten?
Beacause they consist of free ions which conduct electricity
Conductivity of liquid of sodium peroxide?
Sodium peroxide will not conduct electricity. Only if in molten state which is electrolyse it will conduct electricity. Causes of the sodium peroxide cannot conduct it is because of there is no freely moving mobile ions.
Does sodium hydroxide conduct electricity?
yes it does
Does sodium chloride conduct electricity in trichloromethane?
No
Does sodium bicarbonate conduct electricity?
YES
What does sodium chloride conduct?
Sodium chloride conduct electricity only when is as an electrolyte: in water solution or melted.
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.
