Question

Why solid ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity?

Answer 1

Solid ionic compounds do not have electrical conductivity because the ions are not free to move. In a liquid, the ionic compound dissociates into its respective ions.

Explanation:

Electrical conductivity requires the movement of charged particles. The common unit for charge is the Coulomb

In the solid state, electrostatic forces hold the ions together in a crystal lattice structure, which is, in short, a 3D interconnected ion network.

A solid ionic compound does not conduct electricity because the ions are not free to move.

Answer 2

Answer:

For any substance to conduct electricity free movement of ions is necessary.

In case of solid ionic compounds the ions are not free to move and therefore these compounds do not conduct electricity.
