Question

. Explain why ionic compounds will conduct electricity when they dissolve in water.

Answer 1

$\huge\sf\underline{\underline{\pink{Ꭺ}\orange{N}\blue{Տ}\red{Ꮤ}\green{Ꭼ}\purple{Ꭱ}}}$

• 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.
