Question

Copper sulphate conducts electricity when dissolved in water but not in its solid form why?

Answer 1

Copper sulphate is an ionic compound. The conduction of electricity is due to the ions in the ionic compound. When copper sulphate is dissolved in water, the ions dissociate and conduct electricity.

Answer 2

Answer.

Copper sulphate is an ionic compound and formed by tranfer of electrons.

And copper sulphate can"t conduct electricity in the solid form because In solid state there is no flowing and disassociation of ions takes place .(because of less kinetic energy between ions)

Whereas in liquid state or when dissolved in water (due to high kinetic energy in ions) they can easily flow and can easily disassociate.

And due to this movement and disassosiation between ions the conduction of electricity takes place.
