Answer:
an ionic solid or electrovalent solid is made by the combination or bonding of a metal and non metal. ionic solids conduct electricity in molten or when dissolved in water. this because of the ions that are free to move about when the compound is in liquid or aqueous form. in solid form the ions are in a fixed position in their crystal lattice making them unable to conduct electricity

The ionic solids conduct electricity in molten state as the constituent particles of ionic solid are not free to move in solid state, thus ionic solids are insulators in their solid state. While the ions become free to move in the molten state
