Question

How will you demonstrate that the ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state and?

Answer 1

Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are not in free State. But liquid ionic compounds can conduct electricity because they has freely movable ions.

Answer 2

Explanation: Ionic compounds constructs a particular geometric shape known as lattice when it is in their solid state.... on adding water or turning it into molten form... the bonds between the ions weaken to separate them as individual charged particles which can conduct electricity easily in form of free electrons
