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
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
yes. Salt water can conduct electricity. It can also be a battery but not a very sustainable one.
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.
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) does not conduct electricity when mixed with de-ionized water because it does not dissociate into ions in water to carry an electric current. De-ionized water lacks ions needed for the conduction of electricity, and calcium carbonate does not ionize in water due to its low solubility.
There are two reasons for this that I can think of off the top of my head.First of all, it is not salt that conducts electricity but salt dissolved in water. As a solid, salt is an insulator.Second, even if salt did conduct electricity, it would be very difficult to build durable, installable wires out of it. They would tend to break and be dangerous.
no! All lakes on earth rite now conduct electricity. u cant make any lke that pure
hmmm i also have the same question but i cant find it.

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.

Yes! I did it once with a potatoe. (srry cant spell) Yes! I did it once with a potatoe. (srry cant spell) (By the way, it's potato. And it's sorry.)
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

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.
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.
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.
no. it cant be converted to solid
