Solid is a of electricity

Solid \( N a C l \) is a \( _{---} \) of electricity

  • A. good conductor
  • B. bad conductor
  • C. insulator
  • D. none

Step-by-step solution

Solid sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound where ions are held in fixed positions within a crystal lattice. In the solid state, these ions are not free to move, so there are no mobile charge carriers. Therefore, solid NaCl does not conduct electricity and is classified as an insulator.
