Want this question answered?
A substance will conduct an electric current if it forms ions in solution. A solute that produces ions in solution is an Electrolyte. An Electrolytic Solution is a solution that conducts electricity.
Yes, ionic compounds can only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.
When an ionic compound dissolves in water there are free ions which move and carry electric current.
These solutions contain ions, as for example soluble salts.
Electric current is moving charges. Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electric current because the charged ions are locked into place. But if you dissolve an ionic compound in water or melt it, it can conduct electric current. This is because the ions are then free to move.

by moving the ions
Yes. the +ve and -ve ions move in the presence of an electric field.
This compound is an electrolyte.
To conduct an electrical current, you need movable charges. In such solutions, those are available in the form of ions.
These solutions contain ions, as for example soluble salts.
A substance that dissolves in solution to conduct an electrical current is an "electrolyte" or, less commonly, an "ionogen".

Yes, it will conduct electric current much better than plain water. The sugar molecules in water form a clear solution by ionization facilitating the path of electrons of electric current.
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".
