Question

why ionic compound do not conduct electricity in solid state although they are made up of ions

Answer 1

as ions can move in liquid state only.... otherwise in solid they become molecules...so electricity can not pass

Answer 2

Conductive when liquid - ions are charged particles, but ionic compounds can only conduct electricity if their ions are free to move. So ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when they aresolid, but they do conduct electricitywhen they are dissolved in water or when they are melted.
