solid NaCl does not conduct electricity whereas molten NaCl conducts. why?

Answers

Answered by anshikaverma29

In order to conduct electricity a substance must have charge particles, such as electrons and ions, that are free to move through it .

In the solid state, sodium chloride have their ions fixed in position and therefore these ions cannot move. Hence , solid NaCl cannot conduct electricity.

However, in the molten state, ions in ionic compounds are free to move and therefore molten sodium chloride can conduct electricity.
