Question

b. Why do ionic compound not conduct electricity in solid state but conduct
Electricity in molten and aqueous state?​

Answer 1

Answer:

YOUR ANSWER MATE

Explanation:

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten (liquid) or in aqueous solution (dissolved in water), because their ions are free to move from place to place. Ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity when solid, as their ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten (liquid) or in aqueous solution (dissolved in water), because their ions are free to move from place to place. Ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity when solid, as their ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move.

Ions in an ionic lattice are fixed at their positions and can only oscillate about their mean positions. Hence, in the solid state, the ions are not free to move. While in molten form, these ions can freely move in the solution which also allows the passage of electricity. The right reason is the absence of mobile ions in the solid state.
