Question

how is it that ionic compound in the solid state do not conduct electricity but they do so when in molten state

Answer 1

It is so because water contains [H+][OH-] ions which helps ionic compound to dissolve in it as they are also polar due to presence of ions.

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.
