The properties of salt in this experiment demonstrate it is most likely an ionic substance. Ionic substances typically conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted, as they dissociate into ions. Therefore, it is also correct to say that it is a substance that breaks apart into ions when dissolved. However, the more precise categorization based on the overall properties is "ionic substance."
