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.

Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as liquid or solid?
covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in any state.
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.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity?
No. Covalent substances do not conduct electricity in solid or liquid state.
Do ionic compounds conduct electicity?
Not in their standard solid states, but they can if molten or dissolved in water.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as solids?
Generally not.
What is the properties of covalent bond?
Covalent compounds generally have much lower melting and boiling points that ionic compounds. Covalent compounds are soft and squishy. Covalent compounds tend to be more flammable that ionic compounds. Covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in water. Covalent compounds aren't usually very soluble in water.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as aqueous solutions?
covalent compounds can carry a charge when dissolved in water because ions separate and can carry a charge.
Does Caesium conduct electicity?
yes
Can covalent compounds conduct electricity as a liquid?
A compound with only covalent bonds will not conduct electricity as a liquid. However, some salts with covalently bonded ions, such as tetra-methyl ammonium chloride, will conduct electricity when melted.
Is barium able to conduct electicity?
Yes.
Can iron conduct electicity with a lemon?
yes
Why don't covalent molecular compounds conduct electricity?
Covalent substances do not conduct electricity because they are sharing electrons, hence they are in a fixed position and are not able to move around and contribute to movement of the electric current.
