During Electrolysis of NaCl,

NaCl is taken in molten state so it conducts eletricity because of the free electrons, so why are the free electrns present only in its molten state and not in its solid state and therefore resulting in soid NaCl not conducting electricity.

N a C l

does not conduct electricity in solid state whereas it does conduct electricity in aqueous solution as well as in molten state. Explain.

Q. In the solid-state,

If True enter 1 else if False enter 0.

Q. Which type of bond does not allow a solid to conduct electricity but will conduct when the substance is in the molten state?

Q. Assertion :

N a C l

is not a conductor of electricity in solid state whereas it does conduct electricity in aqueous solution as well as in molten state. Reason: In solid

N a C l

, the ions have fixed positions in the lattice structure and there are no free ions but in aqueous solution or molten state, the ions can move freely and thus conduct electricity.
