Question

Can $\mathrm{NaCl}$ conduct electricity?

Answer 1

Ionic solutions:

1. Solutions in which ions are dissolved in water are known as ionic solutions.
2. Ionic solutions conduct electricity with the help of the movement of charge-carrying ions.
3. $\mathrm{NaCl}$ is an ionic compound having an ionic bond between ${\mathrm{Na}}^{+}$ and ${\mathrm{Cl}}^{-}$.
4. In solid-state, $\mathrm{NaCl}$ does not conduct electricity as the movement of ions is restricted.
5. But, when it is dissolved in water it conducts electricity.
