Question

Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity in aques state

Answer 1

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten (liquid) or in aqueous solution (dissolved in water), because their ions are free to move from place to place. Ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity when solid, as their ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move.

Answer 2

Answer:

In the solid state the ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because in solid there is no free electron  and also there is no probability for the formation of ions. So ionic compounds do not conduct electricity but if the ionic compounds are in molten state then the ionic compounds form ions and therefore these ions are responsible for conduction of electricity.
