Not in the lattice structure an ionic solid usually takes, so the ionic structure generally disassociates in solution and becomes charged and then is able to conduct electricity.
Not all ionicly bonded compounds are that soluble in water though and there are a few exceptions.

Is ionic a good conductor of electricity in both a solid and liquid phases?
no
Why is a melted ionic compound a good conductor of electric current but the a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor of electric current?
Upon melting, the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.
Is Solid sodium chloride is a good conductor of electric current?
yes, because it is an ionic compund, made of the ionic bond of sodium and chloride. an ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal and sodium is a metal while chloride is a nonmetal.
Is ionic compound good conductor of heat?
I don't believe they are good conductors of heat due to the fact that in solid form ionic substances have no mobile/free ions that can move independently, and also they have no free electrons due to the fact that the electrons are attached strongly to the individual ions...
Why is an ionic compound a good electrical conductor?
Because there are motile electrons in the electron pool

Which substance meets the requirements cubic solid poor electrical conductor in the solid state good conductor when fused a sodium chloride b diamond c sulfur d chromium?
A, sodium chloride, because it is a crystalline solid. It has an ionic bond when in it's solid form and is a poor conductor. It is a good conductor of electricity in an aqueous state or when fused.
Is Solid sodium chloride is a good conductor of electric current?
yes, because it is an ionic compund, made of the ionic bond of sodium and chloride. an ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal and sodium is a metal while chloride is a nonmetal.
Is salt water a conductor or a insulator?
insulator.
Is Magnesium Chloride a good conductor?
Magnesium chloride is a good conductor if melted or dissolved in an ionization promoting solvent; as a solid it is not a good conductor.

What materials are good conductor?
any substance which has free electrons for conductivity is a good conductor. Metals and most ionic compounds in solution form are good conductors.
Soft low melting solid which is a good conductor of heat?
The metal lead. Solid at room temps, low melting point, good conductor of heat and electricity.
Does liquid conduct electricity well?
It depends on the liquid. Oil would not be a good conductor of electricity. Water is a good conductor, though distilled water is not. Any liquid metal or ionic compound would be a good conductor.
Why is an ionic compound a good electrical conductor?
Because there are motile electrons in the electron pool
