Table salt also known as sodium chloride or NaCl is an example of ionic bonding as the ions Na+ and Cl- react in the equation: 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) 2 NaCl(s), in which 2 moles solid Sodium and 1 mole of Chlorine react to form the solid product NaCl in effect.

Does salt water conduct more electricity than fresh water?

Yes, salt water conducts electricity better than fresh water because it contains more ions that can carry electric current. The ions in salt water come from dissolved salts such as sodium chloride (table salt), whereas fresh water has fewer ions and therefore has a lower conductivity.


Why does salt water have electrical charges?

Because the salt water is salt dissolved water, which is NaCl plus water. When the NaCl dissolve in the water, they breaks down into sodium ion (contains positive charge) and chloride ion (contains negative charge), so that the salt water has electrical charges. Actually we can't say it has charges, we only can say that it can conduct electricity.
