Answer:
Do not conduct electricity as solids.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we should remember that salts are formed when an acid and base react in order to yield the salt and water due to the ions exchange during neutralization chemical reactions. For instance, when hydrochloric acid (acid) reacts with potassium hydroxide (base), sodium chloride (salt) and water are yielded via:
[tex]HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O[/tex]
Moreover, it is widely known that salts are formed by electrovalent/ionic bonds which involves electron transfer so the metallic atom becomes positively charged (cation) whereas the non-metallic atom becomes negatively charged (anion) once the electrons are received so it can conduct electricity when dissolved in water yet not when solid since electron transfer is facilitated by the aqueous media, otherwise, ions remain together. Thereby, answer is do not conduct electricity as solids.
Regards.
