Salt (sodium chloride) and MSG (monosodium glutamate) conduct electricity when dissolved in water because they dissociate into ions. In solution, sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻) from salt, or sodium ions and glutamate ions from MSG, are free to move. This movement of charged particles allows the solution to conduct electric current. In contrast, solid salt or MSG does not conduct electricity because the ions are locked in a rigid lattice structure and cannot move freely.
A solution containing ions conduct electricity. They are different for each solution.
A solution which can conduct electricity is known as an electrolyte.
a solution will conduct electricity if there are free ions or free electrons in the solution.
No, PCl (phosphorus trichloride) does not conduct electricity as it is a covalent compound and does not dissociate into ions in solution.

Vetsin is another name for the flavor enhancer MSG. It does not directly conduct electricity, but it is a salt and like other salts when dissolved in water separates into positive and negative ions. These ions are highly mobile in water, thus permitting the solution to conduct electricity.

A solution containing ions conduct electricity.
A solution which can conduct electricity is known as an electrolyte.
A solution of NaCl in a solvent in which the cations and anions separate, for example in water, can conduct electricity.
An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.
Sulfur does not conduct electricity in aqueous solution. This is because sulfur in its elemental form is a non-metal and is a poor conductor of electricity. In aqueous solution, sulfur does not exist as an ionic or free electron-carrying species that would allow it to conduct electricity.
Acid solutions conduct electricity.
A water solution containing ions conduct electricity.
a solution will conduct electricity if there are free ions or free electrons in the solution.
Ammonia in solution forms ions.
