Nacl does the solution conduct electricity?

A solution of NaCl in a solvent in which the cations and anions separate, for example in water, can conduct electricity.


Why does NaCl conduct when molten but not when solid?

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.


Can solid NaCl conduct an electrical current?

No, solid NaCl cannot conduct an electrical current because ions are not free to move and carry the charge when in the solid state. Only in the molten or aqueous form can NaCl conduct electricity because the ions are mobile.


Why cant NaCl conduct electricity in solid form?

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
