Manganese is a metal and is thus a good conductor of electricity due to its metallic bonding. Manganese Chloride is a salt and ionically bonded and thus only conducts electricity in solution where it ionizes or when molten. It is exactly the same situation with sodium chloride.
Sodium chloride conducts electricity when molten because the ions in the molten state are free to move and carry electric charge through the substance. In the solid state, the ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move to conduct electricity.
In the molten state the ions of sodium chloride are free to move. Magnesium chloride would also conduct if it were molten. Since the ions of the magnesium chloride are bound together in the crystal lattice they cannot carry a current.
Sodium chloride (table salt) can conduct electricity in its molten state or when dissolved in water, but not in its solid form. Heat does not directly affect its ability to conduct electricity.
Yes, copper chloride does conduct electricity when dissolved in water or in molten form. In these states, the copper ions and chloride ions are free to move and carry electric charge.
yes, molten sodium chloride may conduct the electricity but is not a good electrolyte.
Cesium Chloride can only conduct electricity in water or while molten. Once cesium chloride is in a solid state it will not conduct electricity.
Sodium chloride conducts electricity when molten because the ions in the molten state are free to move and carry electric charge through the substance. In the solid state, the ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move to conduct electricity.
Sodium Chloride solution (dissolved in water) conducts electricity, and molten Sodium Chloride conducts electricty, but dry crystal Sodium Chloride does not conduct electricity.
In the molten state the ions of sodium chloride are free to move. Magnesium chloride would also conduct if it were molten. Since the ions of the magnesium chloride are bound together in the crystal lattice they cannot carry a current.

Yes, copper chloride does conduct electricity when dissolved in water or in molten form. In these states, the copper ions and chloride ions are free to move and carry electric charge.
yes, molten sodium chloride may conduct the electricity but is not a good electrolyte.
In its solid state, potassium chloride exists as a crystalline lattice with fixed positions for ions, making it unable to conduct electricity. When melted, the ions are free to move and carry electric charge, allowing potassium chloride to conduct electricity in its molten state.
Melted sodium chloride is an electrolyte containing the cation Na+and the anion Cl-.
Molten sulfur consists of S8 molecules that do not have free-moving charge carriers, so they cannot conduct electricity. On the other hand, molten copper chloride dissociates into Cu+ and Cl- ions, which are free to move and carry electrical charge, making it capable of conducting electricity.
No, like most ionic compounds it does not.
Not in its usual solid state. But like other ionic compounds calcium chloride will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
