For a substance to conduct electricity it must have charged particles that are free to move.
Ionic Solids do not conduct as they have a charged particle (ions- cations and anions) but they are unable to move due to the tight lattice formation of a solid.
However Ionic Liquids conduct as they charged particles (ions) are free to move about.
hope this helps :D

Type of bond present in rubidium?
Rubidium is a solid metal so its atoms are held together through Metallic bond which is the hybrid form of covalent and ionic bonds and may be explained by conduction bond.
Why can't an ionic compound conduct electricity?
An ionic compound cannot conduct electricity only in solid state. It is so because conduction in an ionic compound is due to movement of ions. In the solid state the ions are unable to move, so they can't conduct electricity but in molten state they are free and hence conduct electricity in that state.
Why is NH3 a weak electrolyte?
It is a weak base because it does not fully dissociate when dissolved.
Is FeSO4 a ionic or covalent bond?
It is ionic
What kind of bond is FeO?
IONIC BOND

Do liquids conduct differently if they are thicker or thinner?
An ionic liquid conduct electricity. A thick liquid means more free ions, thus more conduction.
Why can't an ionic compound conduct electricity?
An ionic compound cannot conduct electricity only in solid state. It is so because conduction in an ionic compound is due to movement of ions. In the solid state the ions are unable to move, so they can't conduct electricity but in molten state they are free and hence conduct electricity in that state.
Is distilled water a good conductor or a poor conductor?
Distilled water is a poor conductor. For conduction in any liqiud it must have +ve and -ve charged ions. Water in pure state doesn't dissociate appreciably to give enough ions for electrical conduction. But when soluble ionic compounds are added to it, their ions help water molecules to dissociate and give more ions for good conduction.
Why won't ionic compounds conduct when they are in solid form?
In order for conduction to occur, there must be some free moving (delocalised) charged particle in the structure. When ionic compounds are solid, the positive and negative ions are held together in a giant lattice due to strong electrostatic forces. When ionic compounds are molten or in solution however, the ions can move, and therefore can conduct electricity
What type of energy transfer is the transfer of heat through matter by molecular activity?
Because of molecular vibration the heat transferred through a solid is called CONDUCTION
Is tongue freezing to to a metal pole are conduction convection or radiation?
The metal pole rapidly 'CONDUCTS' heat away from your tongue.
What happens at each layer of the earth?
Conduction, Convection, Conduction,Convection, Conduction, Radiation
What part of the plant is the conduction system?
Conduction
What are some characteristics of conduction?
Characteristics for conduction
What is the differ of conduction and convection?
conduction by itself is slower to heat but conduction and convection is faster to heat
The transfer of electrons from one atom to another to achieve a complete outermost energy level is called?
The energy is said to be given off as a photon of light.
