Sodium oxide (Na2O) does not conduct electricity when solid because its ionic bonds hold the sodium and oxide ions in a fixed lattice structure, preventing them from moving freely. However, when dissolved in water or melted, sodium oxide can conduct electricity due to the mobility of the ions in these states.
