Question

Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state .give reason

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

Hello!!

In ionic compounds,electricity is conducted byions. In solid state, ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces and are not free to move about within the solid. However, inmolten state or in solution form, the ions are free to move and can conduct electricity.
