It is an IONIC solid.
Common table salt is an ionic solid. It will not conduct electricity. However, when dissolved in water, an electrical current can be passed through the salt solution.
An ionic solid in the solid form is held together by electrostatic force. However, when dissolved in water the particles separate as charged ions.
For sodium chloride.
NaCl(s) = Na^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq).
It is these charged particles )ions), moving about are the electrical conduction.

∙ 14y agoYes, shiny substances that conduct electricity are generally metals. However, some nonmetals display these properties as well. Nevertheless, these properties apply much more often to metals.

What is something shiny and conducts electricity well?
Copper, silver, stainless steel are some things that are shiny and conduct electricity.
Which of the following is a property of nonmetals poor conductors of electric current very reactive with water malleable shiny?
Many - but not all - are poor conductors of electric current.
How do you know that potassium an alkali metal is highly reactive is it a. its conducts heat b. it is soft and shiny metal c. it conducts electriciy d. it has one valence electron?
d is the answer. Just one valence electron- all te other characteristics are shared with oter metals.
What are the chemical propertys of sodium?
Since it is a metal sodium will be sonorous, ductile, malleable, "shiny", conducts heat and electricity. However since it is an alkali metal i would be very difficult to keep shiny since it would be react instantaneously in air.
