Potassium is a metal. Like other metals, potassium will conduct electricity in both the solid and liquid (or molten) forms.
But because potassium is so very reactive, you will never find it in metallic form on earth, unless it is specially prepared and stored, usually in a sealed container submerged in an inert liquid. Potassium is found in nature as ionic salts. Ionic salts conduct electricity in a molten state, but not a solid state.

Does potassium that is dissolved in water conduct electricity?
Yes. Potassium metal when it reacts with water forms potassium hydroxide which is ionic and therefore conducts electricity. the vast majority of potassium salts are soluble and these conduct as they are ionic.
Under what condition can potassium bromide conduct electricity?
Potassium Bromide will conduct electricity only when it is melted or dissolved in water
Why does potassium chloride conduct electricity?
Potassium chloride is an ionic solid, the ionic solids can conduct the electricity if they are in molten state or in aqueous solution.
Can potassium conduct electricity?
sodium bromide can conduct electricity though not in high quantitiesAdded:So does potassium bromide, as all ionic salts do (more or less) 'in solutae'
Does Potassium chloride conduct electricity?
Potassiul does have the ability to conduct electricity but only in certain forms
Why does potassium chloride conduct electricity in aqueous solution?
its depends in the amount of potassium chloride.
Can potassium carbonate dissolved in water conduct electricity?
yes
Does potassium choloride conduct electrisity?
When it's in a solid form no but if it is a liquid (when placed in a solution) then yes it does conduct electricity.
Why potassium iodide can conduct electricity in the molten state but not in solid state?
Potassium Bromide or KBr is not able to conduct electricity in solid state. It is an ionic compound and its ions are not free to move in the solid state, hence they are not able to conduct electricity. But when they are in aqueous state, they are free to move and thus become able to conduct electricity.
Is a reactive liquid it does not conduct electricity with valency 1 in its compound?
potassium
Under what conditions can potasium bromine conduct electricty?
Potassium bromide can only conduct electricity when it is in liquid form.
Do water and oxygen conduct electricity?
In their pure forms no.
