Question

give reason why Ionic compounds conduct electricity in the molten state?



plzzz answer fast​

Answer 1

In molten state or dissolved state ionic compounds conduct electricity because they contain charged particles called cations and anions. These ions are free to move to conduct electricity. Thus ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state or solution but in solid state they do not conduct electricity

Answer 2

Explanation:

molten state has free electrons.

electrons will conduct electricity in any body.

so, metals are tightly packed and there are no free electrons to conduct electricity.

In molten state of a metal there are free electrons to conduct electricity!!

hope it helps you!
