because it's a strong electrolyte. when it is dissolved in water it would dissociate almost close to 100 percent . so as more ions are present it is good conductor of electricity

Sodium chloride solution is a good conductor of electricity.

Explanation:

  • To conduct electricity, the solution must posses free ions in the form of cations and anions.
  • When NaCl is dissociated in water it leads to the formation of two ions as per the following chemical equation:

NaCl\rightarrow Na^++Cl^-

  • Due to the formation of Na^+ and Cl^-, NaCl solution is called an electrolyte.
  • When we add this solution to the electrodes, the cations are attracted to the cathode and the anions to the anode.
  • This development delivers a current and thus makes NaCl solution a good conductor of electricity.
