About this document
Solid Sodium Chloride and Conductivity by Tryxiaa Ö Althea Jenn is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Tap water conducts electricity more than distilled or bottled water due to dissolved ions like sodium, copper, fluoride, and chloride. For a substance to conduct electricity, it needs charged particles like ions that are free to move. In solid table salt, the sodium and chloride ions are locked in place, so it does not conduct. However, when salt dissolves in water or melts, the ions are free to move and conduct electricity, making it an electrolyte.
