Question

ionic solids conduct electricity in molten state but not in solid state because?​

Answer 1

heyaa mate...

Ionic solids conduct electricity since in molten state ionic solid s disassociate to give free ions which in solid state r not free to move and r held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction.

hope this helped u✌

Answer 2

Answer:

The ions of ionic solids are responsible for conducting electricity. In the solid state, however, these ions are not free to move around inside the solid because of the strong electrostatic forces. Hence, ionic solids do not conduct electricity in a solid state. Whereas, in a molten state, the ions are free to move and thus they can conduct electricity.
