How could we tell if a compound consists of ions if it doesn't dissolve in water?

As long as a compound is an ionic compound, it will be made of ions. One can choose to melt the compound so as to liberate the ions. Once done, these ions can act as free mobile ions to help conduct electricity.
As long as the compound is able to conduct electricity in liquid form, it is most likely an ionic compound (with the exception of water).
