Answer:
In the solid state, ionic compounds such as sodium chloride have their ions fixed in position and therefore these ions cannot move so solid ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity. However in the molten state, ions in ionic compounds are free to flow and therefore molten sodium chloride can conduct electricity.

For the 'conduction of electricity', the element or compound must have free moving electrons or ions. NaCl is a "good conductor of electricity" in molten state but not is solid state.
Explanation:
- NaCl (Sodium Chloride) in solid state don't conduct electricity as the ions remain in fixed position in solid state involving no transfer or exchange of electrons.
- On the other hand, in "molten form of sodium chloride", the ions remain free to flow and therefore, conduct electricity.
