Is ionic solutions poor conductors of electricity?
(in short) No, whilst in their solid state ionic crystals are very poor conductors of electricity, however when molten or dissolved their ions are able to carry charge, therefore they are very good conductors of electricity when molten or dissolved in e.g. water. Pure water is a very poor electrical conductor too, it's the dissolved ions that carry the charge.
What is true about ionic compounds?
poor conductors of electricity and heat when solid Good conductors of electricity when molten Many are water soluble High melting points High boiling points
How do you account for fair and poor conductors of electricity?
The mobility of the electrons in matter. Tightly bound electrons make for poor conductors.
Is a typical property of an ionic compound?
low melting point. ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. They conduct electricty in solution or in molten state unlike covalent compounds and carbon compounds which are poor conductors of electricity .
Compounds with what bonds are poor conductors of electricity even when melted?
Covalent

Why is table salt a poor conducter of electricity?
Usually, solid ionic compounds are weak conductors of electricity. Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds are good conductors though as they have free ions for conductivity. When table salt is dissolved, the solution conducts electricity well.
Are poor conductors of heat poor conductors of electricity?
Yes.
Is ionic compounds electrical conductivity in liquid state poor or good?
There are free ions in the liquid state of ionic compound, hence the are good conductors of electricity.
What is true about ionic compounds?
poor conductors of electricity and heat when solid Good conductors of electricity when molten Many are water soluble High melting points High boiling points
Are coins good or poor conductors of electricity?
Coins are made of metal and metals are good conductors of electricity.
Is a poor conductors of electricity and heat?
yes
What are materials that are poor conductors of electricity called?
They are insulators.
What are insulators such as wood and air poor conductors of?
Electricity
What material does not allow light to pass through is a good conductor of heat but not a good conductor of electricity?
Non metals are poor conductors of heat and are not conductors of electricity , except for carbon , which is can conduct a little bit of electricity. Non metals are poor conductors of heat and are not conductors of electricity , except for carbon , which is can conduct a little bit of electricity.
How do you account for fair and poor conductors of electricity?

Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity are?
All Non-Metals are poor conductor of electricity.
