In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Why ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten or solution form?

Does ionic compounds conduct electricity when not in solution or molten?
No, because solutions or melts are called electrolytes.
Do ionic compound's or covalent molecole's conduct electicity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in aqueous solution or molten state. In aq. soln. or molten state, ionic compounds dissociate to release respective ions. These ions, being electrically charged, conduct electricity.
Why ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are in molten state?
a molten one
Does ionic compounds conduct in electricity?
Ionic compounds will not conduct electricity as solids, which is what they are at room temperature. However, they will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
What are ALL the materials that can conduct electricity?
Anything metallic can conduct electricity. Also molten ionic compounds and solutions of ionic compounds. Aqueous acids also conduct electricity.
How do ionic compounds conduct?
Do_ionic_compounds_conduct_electricitycompounds conduct electricity when they are either dissolved in water of they are molten. If they remain a solid then they will not conduct electricity
Under what condition ionic coumpounds conduct a current?
Ionic compounds conduct the electricity when their ions move freely that means in molten state or in aqueous solution.
Do ionic bonds conduct electrical?
Ionic bonding is simply a term referring to the attraction between the charged ions in an ionic compound. For a substance to conduct electricity, it must have free electrons or free ions. In a solid ionic compound, the electrons cannot move freely throughout the solid, but instead, they are restricted to their own ions. Also, the ions are fixed in their own positions, and thus, they too cannot move freely. Therefore, ionic compounds in the solid state do not conduct electricity. However, if this ionic compound was dissolved in water or in molten state, the electrons would still be restricted to their own ions. But now, the ions can move freely. This means that ionic compounds CAN conduct electricity when in solution or when molten, but not in the solid state.
Can ionic compounds conduct electric current when melted?
Yes, ionic compounds can only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.
Why ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state?
Ionic compounds are usually solid in nature and free flow of ions is not possible . However , in molten state the ions are able to flow freely and thus conduct electricity.
