Answer:
Ionic compounds in their solid state do not conduct electricity because movement of electrons is not possible in solids due to their rigid structure. But ionic compounds conduct electricity in their molten state as the electrostatic forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions are overcome due to heat. Thus ions move freely and conduct electricity.
