An ionic compound conducts electricity when dissolved because the the solution containing the ionic compound dissociates into positive and negative ions. (assuming the solvent is water) Now, the potential between the positive and negative electrode causes the positive and negative ions to move between the electrodes, carrying electrons with them, kind of like a convater belt. The only thing is that there isn't any net flux of material so you can't mix water using a battery.
When molten or dissolved in water.
Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when solid because the ions are held in place by a lattice structure which means they are not free to move to conduct. However when molten or dissolved ionic compounds do conduct electricity because the ions are free to move.
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.
Dry sulfates generally do not conduct electricity (very well... everything conducts electricity if the potential is high enough).Any ionic compound, including sulfate compounds, will conduct electricity if dissolved in water.
NaCl
When molten or dissolved in water.
An ionic compound dissolved in water is an electrolyte and can conduct electricity.
yes
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved. Sodium chloride is an example
An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.
Calcium Carbonate is insoluble in water, however calcium carbonate itself is an ionic compound and ionic bonds do conduct electricity.
Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when solid because the ions are held in place by a lattice structure which means they are not free to move to conduct. However when molten or dissolved ionic compounds do conduct electricity because the ions are free to move.

Yes. Dissolving an ionic compound gives you ions in the water which are free to move in an electric field.
