Answer:
Carbon Tetrachloride consists of a covalent bond. Thus, it is Non-electrolytes. Non-electrolytes compounds are those there is no ionization takes place and thus, only molecules are present in the solution. Thus, it does not conduct electricity. A substance can conduct electricity only when if charged particles are present in the form of electrons or ions that are free to move around. In solid sodium chloride, ions are present but these ions are locked into their ionic lattice and are not able to move. NaCl (sodium chloride) is solid in a state of solid ions or compounds which don't conduct electricity. For to conduct the electricity It will be either melted, molten, or dissolved in a solution (i.e. water) first. Then only the electrons will be free to move either towards the Cathode (-ve) or to the Anode (+ve). In a liquid state, the electrons are free to move anywhere easily. Carbon tetrachloride is insoluble in water and behaves like a bad conductor of electricity while sodium chloride is soluble in water and behaves like a good conductor of electricity in its aqueous state.
