These ions can move and carry a current effectively. The higher the concentration of ions, the greater the conductivity. Table salt, or sodium chloride, is an example of a compound with strong conductivity.

Is salt highly conductive?

For example, solid sodium chloride (NaCl, or table salt) does not conduct electricity; it is an insulator. There will be virtually no current flowing as water is a very poor conductor of electricity. Add a substance that will dissociate into ions (an “electrolyte”), such as table salt, and current will flow.

Which solution has the highest conductivity?

All Answers (3) Maybe you can find some solutions with your conductivity.. The highest values of conductivity will be achieved with concentrated strong acids (like HCl), H+ having the highest molar conductivity.

The simplest answer is that dry table salt at room temperature is an insulator, with a very high resistivity. Sodium chloride is an “ionic solid”, in which the sodium and chloride ions alternate in a grid in space.
