Usually, yes. Ionic compounds are primarily soluble in solvents that promote their separation into ions in solution. These are often called "ionizing solvents", even though the solvents themselves usually do not ionize very strongly.
Molecular solutes will not conduct electricity when dissolved in solution, and ionic solutes will conduct electricity when dissolved in solution.
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.
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.
If the solution will conduct electricity it is ionic. Solutions made from molecules do not conduct electricity.
Potassium chloride is an ionic solid, the ionic solids can conduct the electricity if they are in molten state or in aqueous solution.
An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.
An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.
Ionic compounds are conductors in solution or melted.
No.
Ionic or electrovelent or polar compounds
Ionic compounds can conduct electricity when in the liquid state or in solution in an ionizing solvent.
Molecular solutes will not conduct electricity when dissolved in solution, and ionic solutes will conduct electricity when dissolved in solution.
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.
