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
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 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 .
Do Ionic compounds have poor or good conductivity?
Ionic Compounds have poor conductivity when it is solid. Ionic Compounds have great conductivity when it is either dissolved in water or is melted
When are salts excellent condutors of electricity?
False. A salt solution is full of positive and negative ions making it a good conductor of electricity.
Is network solid a poor conductor of electricity?
network solids do not conduct electricity in the solid or liquid phase, but yes in the aqueous phase

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.
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.
Does water conduct electricity well?
Pure water is a very poor conductor of electricity. Dissolving an ionic compound in water makes the solution a very good conductor.
Why is a melted ionic compound is a good conductor of electric current but a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor of electric current?
Upon melting, the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.

What is a nonelectrolye?
It is a substance that does not readily ionize when dissolved or melted and is a poor conductor of electricity and is a substance that does exist in an ionic form in an aqueous solution.
Do Ionic compounds have poor or good conductivity in solutions?
Unless an ionic compound is heated, until it melts or is mixed with water it is a poor conductor. This is because the ions are trapped in a structured matrix. In a heated liquid form or as ions in a water-based solution they are free to conduct electricity.
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 .
