Question

Why ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity?

Answer 1

In a current electrons flow from negative to positive.
As ions are negatively charged and flow from negative to positive and hence produce electricity.

Answer 2

In a solid, the ions can't move, and soelectricity cannot be easily transferred. You mentioned heat transfer - heat is the transfer of the kinetic energy of atoms and molecules. ... In summary, ionic compounds don't conduct electricityvery well because the charge carriers can't move through the crystal.
