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.

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
Is ionic compound electrical conductivity in the liquid state good or poor?
Good
What are the properties of an ionic bond?
Ionic bonds are formed between metallic and non-metallic elements. The electrostatic attractions between the oppositely charged ions forms a lattice structure. Ionic compounds share similar properties, such as not conducting electricity while solid. But good electrical conductivity in aqueous solution or a liquid state.
What is a very srong dipole-dipole force out of metallic bond ionic bond covalent bond hydrogen?
Ionic and covalent bonds are generally quite a bit stronger than metallic bonds and dipole-dipole forces. Metallic bonds are when metal atoms interchange their electrons, which causes a metal's good conductivity. Dipole interaction is where polar molecules are attracted to each other. Neither of those is actually a chemical bond that holds compounds together. Ionic and covalent bonds, however, are two ways that compounds are formed, and are therefore much stronger.
Atoms of metallic elements can form ionic bonds but they are not very good at forming covalent bonds why?
they have a great tendency to lose electrons
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
Is ionic compound electrical conductivity in the liquid state good or poor?
Good
How can you tell if an object is an insulator?
Different combinations of elements form different types of bonds. Ionic or covalent bonds in solid materials result in materials that have low electrical conductivity (hence are good insulators). Metallic bonds are the kind that produce high conductivity. Liquids may be electrically conductive to the extent that they contain dissociated ions. Liquids that are non polar and contain no ions will be good insulators.

What types of bonds do you think the good conductors of electricity have?
Ionic has good conductors of electricity
Is a gold ring a good conductor of electricity what kind of bonds does gold have . How do these bonds explain golds properties?
It would be a good conductor. With bonds that explain gold's properties
What type of bonds do good conductors of electricity have?
Ionic
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 materials are good conductor?
any substance which has free electrons for conductivity is a good conductor. Metals and most ionic compounds in solution form are good conductors.
What bonds are formed by the attraction of oppositely charged ions?
Good choice of words You are correct. The bond is an ionic bond
What are material goods?
any substance which has free electrons for conductivity is a good conductor. Metals and most ionic compounds in solution form are good conductors.
