solid nacl although contains ions and is an electrolyte does not conduct electricity because it does not have free valency electrons to move and thus the e- are bounded and this is the reason it does not conduct electricity

Why does molten sodium chloride will conduct electricity?
No, it is not. 'Solid sodium chloride doesn't conduct electricity, because there are no electrons which are free to move.' http://www.chemguide.co.uk/atoms/structures/ionicstruct.html
Does Caesium Chloride Conduct Electricity?
Cesium Chloride can only conduct electricity in water or while molten. Once cesium chloride is in a solid state it will not conduct electricity.
Does calcium chloride conduct electricity when solid?
no
Why can't calcium chloride conduct electricity as a solid?
The solid calcium chloride is not an electrolyte.
How does calcium chloride conduct electricity?
In solid form calcium chloride doesn't conduct electricity, but dissolved in water it conducts electricity quite well.
Can solid sodium chloride conduct elcetricity?
Solid sodium chloride doesn't conduct electricity.
Why does a sodium chloride crystal not conduct electricity?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.
Does Sodium chloride solid conduct electricity?
Sodium chloride is not electrically conductive.
Does solid sodium chloride conduct an electrical current?
No. Solid Sodium Chloride does not conduct electricity, unless is melted or disolved in water.
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.
Why does sodium conduct electricity but sodium chloride doesnt?
Sodium is a metal having free electrons; solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.
Solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity but in molten state conduts electricity readily.Why?
Melted sodium chloride is an electrolyte containing the cation Na+and the anion Cl-.
Does sodium chloride conduct electricity in solution?
In an aqueous solution sodium chloride can in fact conduct electricity. This is because within an aqueous solution ions are free to move while as a solid NaCl will not conduct any electricity
When can sodium chloride losses the ability to conduct electricity?
When NaCl in in solid state.
Why does solid sodium conduct electricity but solid sodium chloride does not?
Because sodium and sodium chloride are two different things. Even though sodium is in sodium chloride when you mix two elements you create a new compound.
Why does sodium chloride conducts electricity not when a solid?
When solid sodium chloride dos not conduct electricity because the ions are tightly bound in the ionic crystal lattice. When molten or when dissolved the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.
