As aluminium oxide is an ionic compound, it conducts electricity in molten state.
I didn't know electricity had a molten state...
Potassium is a very reactive metal, but being a metal, it conducts very well in the solid state. It does not have to be melted, but it will conduct in the molten state as well (but to a different extent).
Calcium Hydroxide cannot conduct electricity when it is in solid state but it can conduct electricity in aqueous solution state or molten state. This is because it is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds are made of charged ions which are held tightly in solid state but become mobile in molten or aqueous solution state. The movement of these mobile ions between electrodes helps in conducting electricity.
No, aluminum is definitely in a solid state when it conducts electricity.

Sodium Bromide
As aluminium oxide is an ionic compound, it conducts electricity in molten state.
no because its a covalent compound, it undergoes covalent bonding. if it was a metallic or ionic then it would conduct when molten or in aqueous state. the only element that undergoes a covalent bonding and conducts electricity is graphite, no other element or allotrope conducts.
no. it is an ionic compound which does not conduct electricity as the ions are not free to move around. however when they are in molten or aqueous state, they are able to conduct electricty as the ions disssociate and then will be free to move about freely.
The reason they are in solid and molten states is because of there electricity conducting capability's
after heating Lead Bromide, it becomes a molten which conducts electricity. so the answer is yes it does. lead bromide's an ionic bond. so, compared to the structure of an ionic bond, lead bromide does conduct electricity when molten. When molten or in an aqueous state, the ions become free to move and so it can carry electric charge around as well.
In solid state because it looses its electron so it does not but when it gain electron in liquid n gas state, so it conducts electricity.
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.

It conducts due to the presence of free ions in molten and solution state.
