Why does aqueous sodium chloride conduct electricity but dry sodium chloride does not?

Aqueous sodium chloride contains dissociated ions which are free to move and conduct electricity. Dry sodium chloride does not conduct electricity because the ions are not free to move in a solid state.


Which type of fibers tend to develop static electricity in dry weather?

Synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon tend to develop static electricity in dry weather due to their insulating properties and inability to conduct electricity. Friction between the fibers can lead to the accumulation of electric charge, resulting in static electricity.


Why will dry sodium chloride not conduct the electric current?

A substance can only conduct electricity if it contains charged particles (electrons or ions) that are free to move around. In solid sodium chloride, there are ions but these ions are locked into the ionic lattice and are unable to move. Ergo, solid sodium chloride is unable to conduct electricity.


Why you need to remove a person in an electric shock from the electric wire using dry wooden pole?

Using a dry wooden pole to remove a person from an electric shock helps to avoid the rescuer getting electrocuted as wood is a poor conductor of electricity. The dry wooden pole acts as an insulator, preventing the electric current from passing through the rescuer's body. This method is a safer way to remove someone from an electric shock without putting oneself at risk.

Is dry paper a conductor or an insulator?

Dry paper is generally considered to be an insulator, meaning it does not conduct electricity well. However, if the paper is moist or wet, it may conduct electricity to some extent due to the presence of water, which is a good conductor.


Why does aqueous sodium chloride conduct electricity but dry sodium chloride does not?

Aqueous sodium chloride contains dissociated ions which are free to move and conduct electricity. Dry sodium chloride does not conduct electricity because the ions are not free to move in a solid state.


Does sulphate conduct electricity?

Dry sulfates generally do not conduct electricity (very well... everything conducts electricity if the potential is high enough).Any ionic compound, including sulfate compounds, will conduct electricity if dissolved in water.
