Question

Why ionic compounds can conduct electricity in molten and aqueous solution form and not in solid state?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Ions need to move to conduct electricity.

Ionic compounds can conduct electricity in molten and aqueous state because they contain charged particles called cations and anions. These ions are free to move to conduct electricity.

In solid state, the movement of ions are restricted because the ions are held by a strong electrostatic force.
