QQuestion

Write whether the following statement is True or False :

The electrical conductivity of solid NaCl is greater than the electrical conductivity of fused NaCl.

Exam-ready answer 01 Mark

Answer

False.

The electrical conductivity of fused NaCl is greater than that of solid NaCl because, in the solid state, NaCl does not have free ions to conduct electricity.
