for the conductance of electricity freely moving ions and electrons are necessary. But in NaCl (in solid form) Na positive ion and Cl negative ion are held together by strong electrostatic force and there is no freely moving ion in NaCl (in solid state) therefore NaCl does not conduct electricity in solid form.

2 Predict and explain what systems are electrically conducting a solid NaCl b molten NaCl c An aqueous solution of NaCl?

a) In a solid state, NaCl is an insulator since the ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move to conduct electricity. b) When NaCl is melted into a liquid state, the ions are free to move and can carry an electric current, making molten NaCl an electrical conductor. c) In an aqueous solution of NaCl, the salt dissociates into ions, allowing them to move freely in the solution and carry an electric current, making it a good conductor of electricity.


Is NaCl a good conductor?

Sodium chloride is an electrolyte only in water solutions or when is melted. Solid sodium chloride is not a conductor of electricity.


Why nacl is bad conductor of eletricity in solid state?

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a bad conductor of electricity in the solid state because its ions are held tightly in a fixed position within the crystal lattice, so they are not free to move and carry an electric current. Only when NaCl is melted or dissolved in water does it become a good conductor of electricity, as the ions are free to move and carry charge.


Is soap a good conductor of electricity?

This solution is not a good conductor.


Why is NaCl and KI a conductor of electricity?

In dry or crystalline form, salt (Sodium Chloride) is a poor conductor. But when it is dissolved in water, the sodium forms Na+ ions and the Chlorine forms Cl- ions. With these extra ions in the water, it is easy for electrons to be carried through the solution and current to flow.


Is KCL(s) a good conductor of electricity?

yes KCl of potassium chloride is a good conductor of electricty, but ONLY when in an aqueous (water solution) or in molten (fused) state. It doesnot conduct in solid state.


Why is solid NaCl is a non conductor of electricity?

Solid NaCl does not conduct electricity because its ions are locked in a fixed position and are not free to move. In order for a substance to conduct electricity, it needs to have free-moving charged particles (ions) that can carry an electric current. In the solid state, the ions in NaCl are held in a rigid crystalline structure, preventing them from moving and conducting electricity.


Is calcium chloride a good conductor of electricity?

Yes, calcium chloride is a good conductor of electricity when dissolved in water. The dissolved ions in calcium chloride allow the flow of electric current through the solution. However, solid calcium chloride is not a good conductor of electricity because it does not contain free-moving ions.


Is Magnesium Chloride a good conductor?

Magnesium chloride is not a good conductor of electricity in its solid form. However, when dissolved in water, it can conduct electricity because it dissociates into ions, which are able to carry electric charge.


Is sugar solution a good conductor?

no salt solution is the conductor of electricity as sugar doesn't have as great an ionization as table salt


Is lithium aq good conductor?

Lithium is a good conductor in its normal ionic state but in aqueous solutions, it forms very large molecule by attracting lots of water ions to itself. Its ionic size in aqueous solution is even greater than the size of cesium ion in water. This increased ionic size in aqueous solution reduces its mobility in the solution and reducing its conductivity.


Why does sodium chloride have a low conductivity?

The boiling point of sodium chloride is 1 413 0C and it is not so low.
