This compound is an electrolyte.
When sodium chloride is melted, the orderly crystal structure breaks down. If a voltage is applied across this molten mass, cations migrate freely to one electrode and anions migrate to the other. This movement of ions allows electric current to flow between the electrodes through an external wire. For a similar reason, ionic compounds also conduct electric current if they are dissolved in water. When dissolved, the ions are free to move about in the solution.
Anything metallic can conduct electricity. Also molten ionic compounds and solutions of ionic compounds. Aqueous acids also conduct electricity.
Because the ionic compounds dissociate into charged ions that can migrate under the influence of an electric field within the solution thus formed and can acquire electrons from or yield electrons to a solid conductor at the electrodes that supply such an electric field.
aqueous copper sulphate having high conductive hydroxide ions were as no in solid Copper sulphate.
This compound is an electrolyte.
A compound that does not conduct an electric current in aqueous solution or in molten state is a covalently bonded compound. It could also be called a "non-ionogen".
Cesium bromide is dissociated in water in ions.
Ionic compounds dissociate in water to form positive and negative ions in aqueous solution. Such solutions can conduct electricity.
no it's chemical substance and the ions do not conduct sulphur electricity when in aqueous solution!
Ionic compounds conduct the electricity when their ions move freely that means in molten state or in aqueous 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.
In an aqueous solution sodium chloride can in fact conduct electricity. This is because within an aqueous solution ions are free to move while as a solid NaCl will not conduct any electricity
Genereally ionic compounds. Hoever some polar compunds such as HCl dissociate in water and therefore conduct
Anything metallic can conduct electricity. Also molten ionic compounds and solutions of ionic compounds. Aqueous acids also conduct electricity.
...its aqueous solution conducts an electric current This is because solutions of acids, bases, and salts are electrolytes and conduct electricity. AK
