Not all but many of the substances conduct electricity in the molten form.

Those substances which are insulators do not conduct electricity in any state,

but subs. like ionic compounds start conducting electricity in the molten state.

Yes, because in molten metals there are free electrons to carry charge like in solid ones.One example is Mercury. This can also include other metals heated to high temperatures

Does sodium Bromide conduct electricity in liquid state?

after heating Lead Bromide, it becomes a molten which conducts electricity. so the answer is yes it does. lead bromide's an ionic bond. so, compared to the structure of an ionic bond, lead bromide does conduct electricity when molten. When molten or in an aqueous state, the ions become free to move and so it can carry electric charge around as well.
