Why is an ionic crystal of NaCl a nonconductor explain?


ionic bonds are the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ion. The oppositely charged ion are arranged in a regular way to form giant ionic lattices. Ionic crystal of NaCl is a non-conductor of electricity because it has its electron in fully filled lower energy state. There are no free electrons in crystal lattice.
