the solvent has to be water and the compounds have to be soluble. Google solubility rules for more information on those. but they conduct electricity because of the positive and negative ions that are floating around in the water. these negative ions can make a light bulb glow when connected to the device in different levels of brightness depending upon the strength of the ions.
also: strong acids(HCl) and bases (bleach) conduct electricity as well
When ionic compounds are melted or dissolved in water, the ions that form the compounds move farther apart than they are in solid ionic compounds. This increased separation greatly reduces the energy required to separate the cations from the anions temporarily. As a result, the anions can move toward the anode of two conductors that are impressing an electric field on the solution or melt while the cations move in the opposite direction toward the cathode. In the very near vicinity of the anode, anions can give up their electrons to the external electric circuit. These electrons or others already present move through the external electric circuit and transfer the surplus electrons to neutralize the charge of cations in the very near vicinity of the cathode. The motion of the ions within the melt or solution and of the electrons in the external electric circuit constitute an electric current.
Because the ions themselves carry the current.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Molecular solutes will not conduct electricity when dissolved in solution, and ionic solutes will conduct electricity when dissolved in solution.
Ionic compounds will not conduct electricity as solids, which is what they are at room temperature. However, they will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
The ions dissociate (separate) in solution and can conduct electricity.
Yes, ionic compounds can only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Ionic compounds dissociate in water to form positive and negative ions in aqueous solution. Such solutions can conduct electricity.
Molecular solutes will not conduct electricity when dissolved in solution, and ionic solutes will conduct electricity when dissolved in solution.
Ionic compounds will not conduct electricity as solids, which is what they are at room temperature. However, they will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
The ions dissociate (separate) in solution and can conduct electricity.
Because, the ions are free to move about, and the solution conducts current.

Do_ionic_compounds_conduct_electricitycompounds conduct electricity when they are either dissolved in water of they are molten. If they remain a solid then they will not conduct electricity
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved. Sodium chloride is an example
