Question

explain. why sodium chloride does not allow electricity to pass through?

Answer 1

Sodium Chloride in its solid state has ionic molecules. Ionic forces between the two ions are very strong, so the ions become immobile and cannot move. So it cannot be used as an electrolyte in the solid state. Also, it does not have any free electrons as the shells of both ions are complete. So it does not conduct electricity.
