Answer:
Hydrochloric acid, since it exists as ions in water, readily conducts electricity.
Hydrogen chloride gas does not conduct electricity.
If you were to freeze the gas into a solid, it still would not conduct electricity.
The conductance of electricity by chemicals is based on the presence of ions. Ions are highly charged species that can readily conduct an electrical current. So hydrochloric acid, since it exists as ions in water, readily conducts electricity.
