Default The nature of Sodium and Chloride
Can someone please help me with these two questions?
In terms of bonding and properties, why does Sodium conduct electricity in both the solid state and in solution/ molten state?
In terms of bonding and properties, why doesn't Chlorine conduct electricity either in the solid state or in solution/ molten state?
I just wanted to confirm whether my answers to these were correct, so can anyone answer them? =)

Thanks!
