Hey fam!
Solids do not and cannot conduct electricity because the particles in them are tightly packed and cannot move. Since the particles are not free, the ions cannot be moves and so no conduction of electricity takes place(here I am talking about compounds and not elements like metals)
But in the case of liquids, the particles are free to move within and not very tightly packed. So, here the particles easily carry ions and thus conduction of electricity takes place.

Conduction in liquids: Molten metal's and mercury (a liquid metal) conduct electricity. The current through them is constituted by the flow of electrons. Other liquids conduct electricity because they have ions.
I hope you have understood.
