Question

Why do ionic compounds conducts electricity in molten state whereas, not conducts

electricity in the fused state?​

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Conduction of electricity is achieved by the movement of charged particles.Ionic compounds conduct electricity in solution because they are made up of electrically charged ions but covalent compounds are made up of electrically neutral molecules so they do not conduct electricity. Hence ionic compounds conducts electricity in molten state and does not conducts electricity in the fused state.
