Why Does Nacl Not Conduct Electricity In Solid State
Explain why a salt which does not conduct electricity in the solid state becomes a good conductor in molten state. In the solid state however the ions are trapped in a lattice by electrostatic forces. Why Does Salt Solution Conduct Electricity While Sugar Solution Doesn T Answered Aug 14 2019 by priya12 -12624 points Although solid ionic compounds are made up of ions but they do not conduct electricity in solid state. Why does nacl not conduct electricity in solid state . Explain NaCl is not a conductor of electricity in solid state whereas it does conduct electricity in aqueous solution as well as in molten state. Apne doubts clear karein ab Whatsapp par bhi. These free ions are responsible for conduction of electricity. This means that the charged particles cannot move around freely and therefore salts do not conduct electrivity in their solid state. Hence due to the non availability of free ions or electrons in the solid crystal of Nacl which are responsible for the tra...
