Question

why a solid ionic compound does not conduct electricity?

Answer 1

because ionic compoud have to tendency to conduct electicity in molten or liquid state where in the presence of oh ions.

Answer 2

Hii mate here is ur answer

Ionic compounds are composed of two elements. The ionic bond between these two elements is strong. In solid state there is no availability of free electrons and also there is no probability for the formation of ions. So ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when they are solid, but they do conduct electricity when they are dissolved in water or when they are melted because in molten state these ionic compounds forms ions. these ions are responsible for the conduction of electricity.
