NaCl when in solid state does not conduct electricity
while it does in aqueous solution.
Explanation:
NaCl (or what we call common salt) first needs to be either
melted or dissolved in a solution for it to conduct electricity. The reason for
this is that electrons in a solid state does not have enough freedom to move to
either the Cathode (-ve) or to the Anode (+ve). So in a liquid state the
electrons are now free enough to move.
