Sodium chloride, which is table salt, is a good insulator because its ionic structure prevents the flow of electrical charge. The ions in sodium chloride are held tightly in place, making it difficult for electrons to move through the material. Therefore, it does not conduct electricity well, making it a good insulator.

Sodium chloride is conductor or insulator?
Crystalline sodium chloride is an insulator.Liquid or melted sodium chloride is a conductor.
What is the ratio of sodium and chloride in sodium chloride?
The ratio of sodium to chloride in sodium chloride (NaCl) is 1:1. This means that for every sodium ion present, there is one chloride ion present in the compound.
What is the chemical formula for sodium chloride sodium?
The empirical formula of sodium chloride is NaCl.
How was sodium chloride named?
Sodium from the cation sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) from the anion.
What are the 10 most common salts?
The 10 most common salts are sodium chloride (table salt), magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt), calcium carbonate (chalk), potassium chloride (potassium salt), sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), sodium citrate (sour salt), calcium chloride (road salt), potassium carbonate (potash), sodium nitrate (saltpeter), and ammonium chloride (sal ammoniac).
Is sodium chloride is a good insulator of electric current?
No, sodium chloride (table salt) is not a good insulator of electric current. In its solid state, sodium chloride dissociates into ions which can conduct electricity. However, in its molten state or when dissolved in water, sodium chloride can act as an electrolyte and conduct electricity.
Sodium chloride is conductor or insulator?
Crystalline sodium chloride is an insulator.Liquid or melted sodium chloride is a conductor.
What are the properties of conductivity?
The thermal conductivity of sodium chloride is 6,5 W/m.K at 25 0K.Electrically sodium chloride is an insulator.
What are properties of conductivity?
The thermal conductivity of sodium chloride is 6,5 W/m.K at 25 0K.Electrically sodium chloride is an insulator.
What are the conductive properties of Nacl?
The thermal conductivity of sodium chloride is 6,5 W/m.K at 25 0K.Electrically sodium chloride is an insulator.
Is salt a conductor or an insulator?
salt water is a good conductor of electricity as it contains sodium and chloride ions to carry out current
Is NaCl an insulator or conductor?
Hi, Salt itself is an insulator of electricity. The conductivity of any solution depends on the movement of ions. Ions are the charged species of the atom. In salt the movement of these ions are not possible. Thus, it is a bad conductor. Hope this helps.
Why is solid sodium an excellent conductor of electricity but solid sodium chloride is an insulator?
Solid sodium has free electrons that can move easily to carry electrical charge, making it a good conductor. In contrast, solid sodium chloride consists of ions held in a lattice structure that cannot move freely to conduct electricity, making it an insulator.
Does sodium chloride produce an electrical current?
Sodium chloride in solution or melted is a good conductor of electricity; but sodium chloride doesn't produce electricity.
Is dry solid sodium chloride a conductivity of electricity?
Not positive, but fairly sure that solid sodium chloride is not a conductor. Molten sodium chloride is a good conductor.
Is sodium benzoate the good preservative of food?
any sodium like sodium chloride is good for preservation in meats
What is the use of sodium chloride in water?
Sodium chloride doesn't react with water; in water NaCl is dissolved and dissociated in ions.Sodium chloride doesn't react with water; sodium chloride is dissolved and dissociated in water.
