Answer:
Ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity in the solution state.
Explanation:
Ionic compounds in the solid state are not good conductors of electricity as they are strongly bonded and no mobile ions are available for conduction.
However, in the solution state, i.e. when dissolved in water, they dissociate into their respective carrier ions that can conduct the electricity.
