Is sodium chloride is a good insulator of electric current?
No, sodium chloride (table salt) is not a good insulator of electric current. In its solid state, sodium chloride dissociates into ions which can conduct electricity. However, in its molten state or when dissolved in water, sodium chloride can act as an electrolyte and conduct electricity.
Which Substance When Dissolved in Water will Conduct an Electrical Current?
Ionic compounds such as salt (sodium chloride) or acids like hydrochloric acid will dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, allowing them to conduct an electrical current. Conversely, nonionic compounds such as sugar will not conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
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.
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
Does sodium chloride conduct electricity in solution?
Yes, sodium chloride (table salt) conducts electricity when it is dissolved in water. This is because it dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride ions) in solution, which are able to carry electrical charge and allow the flow of electricity.
Do sodium chloride crystals conduct electricity?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
Why does sodium chloride conduct electricity in crystalline form?
When it is a solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
Does sodium chloride produce an electrical current?
Sodium chloride in solution or melted is a good conductor of electricity; but sodium chloride doesn't produce electricity.
Why can't solid sodium chloride conduct electricity and aqueous sodium chloride can?
Because when sodium chloride is in a solid form it is in a lattice structure, this means the ions are fixed in place. If they can't move they can't carry the electrical current. When sodium chloride is in aqueous form the ions are free to move, therefore they can carry the current. Hope this helps :)

What two properties of sucrose distinguish from sodium chloride?
There are several properties that distinguish sucrose from sodium chloride. One is that sucrose melts at around 186ºC whereas sodium chloride melts at around 800ºC. Another property would be that sucrose is a non electrolyte (will not conduct a current when in solution) whereas sodium chloride is an electrolyte and it will conduct a current when in solution.
Can dissolved salt separate into sodium and chloride when it has electrical current running through it?
Sodium Chloride dissolved in water will form sodium but sodium reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, molten sodium chloride will do it .

Can solid sodium chloride conduct elcetricity?
Solid sodium chloride doesn't conduct electricity.
Does sodium chloride crystals conduct electricity?
It cannot as the ions are not free moving and thus there is nothing to carry the charge. However when in its solution form, or melted, there are free moving ions as the bonds have been broken down, and so in an aqueous state it will conduct.
What does sodium chloride conduct?
Sodium chloride conduct electricity only when is as an electrolyte: in water solution or melted.
