Answer 2

Explanation:

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten(liquid) or in aqueous solution (dissolved in water) , Because there ions are free to move from place to place.

Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity because they do not have charged particles capable of carrying electrons.
