Question

What compounds conduct electricity?

Answer 1

Ionic or electrovalent compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water....when the compound is dissolved in water it dissociates into its respective ions...and these dissociated ions helps in the conduction of electricity

Answer 2

They contain a positively charged atom or molecule, called a cation, and a negatively charged atom or molecule, called an anion. In their solid state, these compounds do not conduct electricity, but when dissolved in water, the ions dissociate and can conduct a current.
