Lithium(Li) or lithos (meaning stone in greek) is an Alkali metal, on which is located on the Periodic Table of Elements in Group I, Row 2. Like all metals Alkali metals are good electrical conductors. Therefore Lithium does conduct Electricity.

Lithium is a metal. It is an Alkali metal from Group 1 of the periodic table, and as a metal, it forms a metallic crystal lattice structure when it is solid. Further, not all the electrons of those lithium atoms are "bound" in that crystalline structure. Some are free to support conduction.

In solid state it does not, but in liquid state and aqueous solution it is a good conductor.

It will conduct electricity when it is molten or dissolved in water.

But it will not conduct electricity in its standard solid state.

Does solid lithium bromide conduct electricity?

no. it is an ionic compound which does not conduct electricity as the ions are not free to move around. however when they are in molten or aqueous state, they are able to conduct electricty as the ions disssociate and then will be free to move about freely.
