NaCl (common salt) is solid in state and solid ions or compounds don't conduct electricity. It needs to be either melted, molten or dissolved in a solution (i.e. water) first. This is because the electrons in a solid state won't be free to move to either the Cathode (-ve) or to the Anode (+ve).Aug 31, 2008
