NaCl can conduct electricity in the molten state, and when dissociated into its constituent ions in water, Na2+ and Cl-.
Sodium chloride, NaCl, for example is of neutral pH and conductive in solution or in molten state. It is a salt.
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.
No, diamond is an insulator and does not conduct electricity in its solid state. This is because it does not have free electrons to carry an electric current.
I didn't know electricity had a molten state...
If your talking about state, like as in states of matter, then electricity has none. Electricity is not matter, so it can not have a state.
When NaCl in in solid state.
A solution of NaCl in a solvent in which the cations and anions separate, for example in water, can conduct electricity.
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.
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.
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
Yes, because the solution of NaCl is an electrolyte.
yes
NaCl
ionic compound
Water solution of sodium chloride or molten NaCl are conductors.
Did you mean 'ionic substsnce' ? If yes, then it is common salt, NaCl
Solid NaCl is not an electrolyte; the saline solution or the molten NaCl are electrolytes.
