Molten ionic compounds form a liquid that contains positive and negative ions and these conduct electricity. Cations move to the cathode, anions to anode.
Not that someionic compounds decompose when melted.

In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Can ionic compounds conduct electric current when melted?
Yes, ionic compounds can only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.
A substance that does not conduct electricity as a solid but does conduct electricity when melted is most likely classified as?
An Ionic Compund
Materials with bonds conduct electricity in the solid state while those with bonds conduct electricity only when melted or dissolved in water?
metallic, ionic
Why ionic substances do not conduct electricity as solid but when molten state?
I dont really know
Can ionic substances conduct electricity when in a solid state?
They are conductive in solution or melted.
When can an ionic compound conduct electricity?
An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.
When can ionic compound conduct electric?
An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.
Will an ionic compound conduct electricity as a solid?
Ionic compounds are conductors in solution or melted.

What solutions of ionic substances that conduct electricity are called?
An Eletctolyte.
Materials with bonds conduct electricity in the solid state while those with bonds conduct electricity only when melted or dissolved in water?
metallic, ionic
Do simple molecular substances conduct electricity?
Most molecular substances do not conduct electricity since the ions don't dissociate very well with molecular substances. However, most ionic substances do conduct electricity very well due to their ability to dissociate very well in water.
Are all ionic substances aqueous electrolytes?
if The solutions conduct electricity! They are called ELECTROLYTES
