Question

Would you expect molten sodium chloride to conduct electricity? why or why not?

Answer 1

In order to conduct electricity a substance must have charge particles, such as electrons and ions, that are free to move freely through it. ... However in the molten state, ions in ionic compounds are free to flow and therefore molten sodium chloride can conduct electricity.

Answer 2

Yes

When molten, sodium chloride is separated into its ions. These ions can carry a charge which means that sodium chloride can conduct electricity.
