Question

1why ionic compounds in the solid
state do not conduct electricity but
are able to do so in molten state?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Because in molten state they disintegrate into ions ..and ions conducts electricity...so ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state and not in solid state

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

In the solid state the ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because in solid there is no free electron  and also there is no probability for the formation of ions. So ionic compounds do not conduct electricity but if the ionic compounds are in molten state then the ionic compounds form ions and therefore these ions are responsible for conduction of electricity.
