Solid NaCl or common salt does not conduct electricity because there are no free moving ions. However,when NaCl is dissolved in water, it breaks up into Positive sodium ions ( cations ) and negative chloride ions ( anions ).

Though NaCl is composed of ions/charged particles in solid state the ions cannot move freely.

But aqueous or molten solution of NaCl has free ions which help in the ionic conduction of electricity.



Hope it helped.....
