one simple answer is that whan NaCl is solid the ions Na+ and Cl- are not free to move and conduct the electricity. when in a aqeous solution and as a liquid the ions are free to move and the electricity can be conducted. hope this helps

Does magnesium sulfate conduct electricity?

it conducts electricity only when dissolved in water or molton because this then allows the charged ions to flow a current , cant conduct when solid because the ions are fixed and cannot move


Why do ionic compounds like lead iodide not conduct electricity when solid?

In order to conduct electricity, a substance must have charged particles which are free to move through it. In an ionic solid, all of the ions are bound in a crystal lattice structure which prevents them from moving.

Is glass a poor conductor?

It depends on whether you mean heat conductor or electrical conductor; in either case it is a poor conductor at room temperature; but at very high temperature it is a good electrical conductor but still a poor heat conductor


Can hydrogen conduct electricity?

Hydrogen has the highest thermal conductivity of any gas. The electrical conductivity of hydrogen varies according to temperature. If it is cold enough, it can be a superconductor. If it is hot enough, as a plasma, it is highly conductive.


Properties of compounds with giant ionic structures?

Compounds with giant ionic structures have high melting and boiling points due to the strong electrostatic forces holding the ions together. They are usually hard and brittle solids. These compounds are good conductors of electricity when molten or in aqueous solution, but not as solids.


What material does not conduct heat or electrical current?

One material that does not conduct heat or electricity is rubber. It is an insulating material with high resistivity, making it suitable for applications where electrical or thermal insulation is required.


Why cant liquid ammonia conduct electricity unlike aqueous ammonia?

In liquid NH3 there are zero ions to 'transport' charge. In ammonia (NH3 solution in water) there are some (1%) positve NH4+ and negative OH- ions to do so.
