Verified by Toppr
In solid NaCl, there is a strong force of attraction and ions cannot move from one place to another i.e. ions cannot migrate. Hence it does not conduct electricity.

Q2
Assertion :NaCl is not a conductor of electricity in solid state whereas it does conduct electricity in aqueous solution as well as in molten state. Reason: In solid NaCl, the ions have fixed positions in the lattice structure and there are no free ions but in aqueous solution or molten state, the ions can move freely and thus conduct electricity.

Q3
Assertion :NaCl→Na++Cl− is dissociation and not ionization. Reason: Because in an ionic solid like NaCl, an electron is essentially already fully partitioned onto the chlorine. There is no transfer of electron.

Q5
During Electrolysis of NaCl,
NaCl is taken in molten state so it conducts eletricity because of the free electrons, so why are the free electrns present only in its molten state and not in its solid state and therefore resulting in soid NaCl not conducting electricity.
