NaCl does conduct electricity, but in the an aqueous form or when melted because the bonds holding Na+ and Cl- ions together are dissociated by either the polar nature of water, or by the heat provided to cause melting.
The same happens with NaOH, except the ions are Na+ and OH-.
A solution of NaCl in a solvent in which the cations and anions separate, for example in water, can conduct electricity.
NaCl can conduct electricity in the molten state, and when dissociated into its constituent ions in water, Na2+ and Cl-.
Yes, NaOH (sodium hydroxide) can conduct electricity when dissolved in water. In solution, it dissociates into ions (Na+ and OH-) which are capable of carrying electric charge. Therefore, NaOH is classified as an ionic conductor.
Yes, because the solution of NaCl is an electrolyte.
ionic compound
yes
NaCl
Solid NaCl is not an electrolyte; the saline solution or the molten NaCl are electrolytes.
Yes, NaOH (sodium hydroxide) is conductive because it dissociates into ions in water, allowing it to conduct electricity.
When NaCl in in solid state.
NaCl conducts electricity when molten because the ions are free to move and carry an electric current. In the solid state, the ions are locked in a fixed position and cannot move to conduct electricity.
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
