In solution.
Sodium Chloride solution (dissolved in water) conducts electricity, and molten Sodium Chloride conducts electricty, but dry crystal Sodium Chloride does not conduct electricity.
Sodium chloride when dissolved in water forms an electrolyte that conducts electricity.
Sodium chloride solution conducts electricity through its bulk by motion of the oppositely charged sodium and chloride ions in it in opposite directions. At the electrodes used to measure conductivity, these ions interchange their electrons with the electrodes.
because water conducts electricity
In order to conduct electricity, sodium chloride has to separate into its ionic forms (sodium ions and chloride ions). It does this in a water (aqueous) solution and also when in molten form, which is when heated above 801 °C.
Sodium chloride does not explode in water. When dissolved in water, sodium chloride dissociates into sodium and chloride ions, creating a solution that conducts electricity. This process is not explosive.
Sodium chloride solution conducts electricity through its bulk by motion of the oppositely charged sodium and chloride ions in it in opposite directions. At the electrodes used to measure conductivity, these ions interchange their electrons with the electrodes.
Sodium chloride conducts electricity in water because when dissolved, it dissociates into its respective sodium and chloride ions. These ions are free to move and carry electric charge through the solution, allowing it to conduct electricity.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved. Sodium chloride is an example
For a substance to conduct electricity, it must either have free electrons or have mobile ions. Since in solution NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions, it is capable of conducting electricity. In other words, aqueous NaCl conducts electricity. Molten sodium chloride is also a good conductor.
Yes, sodium chloride (table salt) conducts electricity when it is dissolved in water. This is because it dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride ions) in solution, which are able to carry electrical charge and allow the flow of electricity.
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.
