In an aqueous solution sodium chloride can in fact conduct electricity. This is because within an aqueous solution ions are free to move while as a solid NaCl will not conduct any electricity

Why salt and vetsin can conduct electricity in a solution?

Salt (sodium chloride) dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride) in water, allowing it to conduct electricity. Vetsin (monosodium glutamate) likely contains ions that can also dissociate in water, enabling it to conduct electricity in a solution.


Why does a solution of sodium chloride conduct electricity but a sugar solution does not?

In order to conduct electricity a solution needs ions to carry the current. Sodium chloride contains ions, sugar does not.... So, sugar can't conduct electricity. Sugars are held together by covalent bonds...( very strong) Sodium is held together by Ionic bonds..(easily broken) Renee....Nashville State Community College A&P1


Why will sodium chloride conduct electricity in water?

Sodium chloride conducts electricity in water because when dissolved, it dissociates into its respective sodium and chloride ions. These ions are free to move and carry electric charge through the solution, allowing it to conduct electricity.


What would you have to do to make sodium chloride conduct electricity?

To make sodium chloride conduct electricity, you would need to dissolve it in water to create an electrolyte solution. In this solution, the sodium and chloride ions will be free to move and carry electric charge, enabling the conductivity of electricity.


In what form does sodium chloride conduct electricity?

For a substance to conduct electricity, it must either have free electrons or have mobile ions. Since in solution NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions, it is capable of conducting electricity. In other words, aqueous NaCl conducts electricity. Molten sodium chloride is also a good conductor.
