Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte; water solution of NaCl is an electrolyte (also melted NaCl).
Electrical conductivity rises dramatically, and this is due to mobile ions that move in solution or the molten salt under the influence of an electrical field. These mobile ions carry the current.
No
Metals are already good electrical conductors, and melting metals increases their electrical conductivity. All that heat (thermal energy) allows electrons a lot more mobility so they can more effectively contribute to current flow.
Not in its normal, solid form but it will when molten or dissolved in water.
Salt (NaCl) is a poor conductor of electricity when it is in solid form because its ions are held in a fixed position. However, when salt is dissolved in water or molten, it dissociates into its constituent ions (Na+ and Cl-) which can conduct electricity due to the movement of charged particles.
Copper (II) sulfate is a poor conductor of electricity in solid state. When dissolved in water, it, like most salts, becomes conductive. One would expect that molten CuSO4 would also conduct electricity.
Magnitize it
Sodium Chloride dissolved in water will form sodium but sodium reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, molten sodium chloride will do it .
Ionic compounds have good conductivity when in solution or molten state because the ions are free to move and carry an electric charge. However, in solid form, ionic compounds have poor conductivity because the ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move to carry a charge.
No, ionic solids typically do not have high conductivity when solid because the ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move freely to carry an electric current. Conductivity in ionic solids usually occurs only when they are molten or dissolved in a liquid, where the ions are free to move.
Aluminum chloride, represented by molecular formula AlCl3, is a compound of aluminum and chlorine. An aqueous solution of aluminum chloride conducts electricity fairly well, but this is not currently reliably quantified.
Sodium chloride is an electrical conductor only in solution or when is melted.
