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.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in solution, as their ions are free to move and carry electrical charge. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity in any state, as they do not have free-moving ions or electrons.
Ionic compounds generally dissolve in water dissociating to give ions that are free to move and conduct electricity. Molten ionic compounds also have free ions and conduct electricity. Ionic compounds generally do not conduct electricity in the solid form.
Not all ionic compounds dissolve into electrolytes. Only ionic compounds that dissociate into ions in solution and conduct electricity are considered electrolytes. Some ionic compounds do not dissolve well in water and consequently do not conduct electricity.
Ionic compounds contain positively and negatively charged ions that are free to move when dissolved in a solvent, enabling them to conduct electricity. This ability to conduct electricity is what classifies ionic compounds as electrolytes.
Ionic compounds can conduct electricity because the ions in the solid state can move and carry electric charge. In contrast, molecular compounds usually do not conduct electricity because they do not dissociate into ions in solution or in the solid state, resulting in no free charge carriers to conduct electricity.
That's right, solutions of ionic compounds do conduct electricity well.

yes
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
Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in their crystalline form because the ions are locked in a fixed position and are not free to move to carry an electric current. It is only when ionic compounds are melted or dissolved in water that the ions become free to move and conduct electricity.
Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when solid because the ions are held in place by a lattice structure which means they are not free to move to conduct. However when molten or dissolved ionic compounds do conduct electricity because the ions are free to move.
Ionic compounds are conductors in solution or melted.
Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity well in their solid state because the ions are locked into a crystal lattice, preventing them from moving and carrying an electric current. However, when ionic compounds are melted or dissolved in water, the ions become free to move and can conduct electricity.
