What is the conductivity of halite?

The conductivity of halite, which is also known as rock salt, is relatively low. It is a poor conductor of electricity due to its ionic structure. However, halite can conduct heat relatively well compared to its electrical conductivity.


Why is solid halite not a good electrical conductor?

Solid halite (salt) is made up of sodium and chloride ions that are tightly bound together in a crystalline structure. These strong ionic bonds prevent the movement of free electrons, which are necessary for electrical conduction. As a result, solid halite does not conduct electricity well.


Why is halite a bad conductor of electricity?

Halite, or rock salt, is a bad conductor of electricity because it consists of tightly bound ions within its crystal lattice structure. These ions are not free to move and carry electric charge, unlike in a conductive material where free electrons or ions can easily flow and conduct electricity.
