Why is salt solution a good conductor of electricity?

Salt is a good conductor of electricity because it is an impurity. Pure water is a bad conductor of electricity because it does not contain impurities.

salt water is a good conductor because is acts like an elecrolyte that helps in conducting electricity

salt solution is agood conductor as ions of salt i.e. sodium and chlorine. and as when solution breaks into free mobile ions the light eventually glows.

  • 4

it acts as impurities in the water.

When salt is added to distilled water(which is not a good conductor) the water gets more dense, and as you know elctricity travels more in denser objects so salt water is a good conductor of electricty

As we know that a liquid conducts electricity due to the presence of ions.In pure water no ions are present while in impure water (containing impurities like salt) which increases the presence of ions, thus conducting electricity.

Salts are formed in the seas when mineral deposits dissolve into it. When this dissolves,it conducts electricity as the presence of ions increases.

salt solution is a good conductor of electricity because it contains impurities which conduct the electricity!

 salt solution is a good conductor of electricity beacause salt solution contains mineral salt.

easy...because in the solid state,

salts

molecules are in fixed positions and hence they cant move. For

electricity

to move through something, it has to have

particles

that can transfer electricity. when in molten or aqueous state, the particles of the salt, the Na+, and Cl-. ions are free to move and hence electricity is transferred. U better give me the best answer marks....cheers man!!!

Because salt in the water can conduct electricity
