In the solid state generally no. In solution or molten when the ions ra efree to move in an electric field, they can be reasonable conductors

Yes, most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.


What are ionic solids?

Ionic solids are a type of solid structure where the constituent particles are ions held together by ionic bonds. These solids often exhibit high melting and boiling points, are good conductors of electricity in molten or aqueous states, and have a crystalline structure. Examples include common table salt (NaCl) and magnesium oxide (MgO).

What kind of solid has a high melting point and conducts electricity?

The types of crystalline solids that are usually good conductors of heat and electricity are those that have valence electrons. It is the valence electrons that are responsible for the conduction of heat and electricity.


Properties of compounds with giant ionic structures?

Compounds with giant ionic structures have high melting and boiling points due to the strong electrostatic forces holding the ions together. They are usually hard and brittle solids. These compounds are good conductors of electricity when molten or in aqueous solution, but not as solids.


What type of bonds do good conductors of electricity have?

Is an ionic solid a good conductor?

Not in the lattice structure an ionic solid usually takes, so the ionic structure generally disassociates in solution and becomes charged and then is able to conduct electricity. Not all ionicly bonded compounds are that soluble in water though and there are a few exceptions.


Is metal and nonmetal are good conducters?

No because there both different things so that makes them different conducters


Do ionic bonds form electrolytes?

Yes, ionic bonds form electrolytes. When an ionic compound dissolves in a solvent, it breaks apart into positive and negative ions, which can conduct electricity. This is why ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when in solution.
