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.
There is one very important property of ionic compounds. Ionic compounds are compounds that will conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
Any other compounds dissolved in water may be properly called a "solute", and when the compounds are ionic they may also be called "electrolytes."
Ionic Compounds have poor conductivity when it is solid. Ionic Compounds have great conductivity when it is either dissolved in water or is melted

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved. Sodium chloride is an example

Many salts are also ionic compounds.
The ions dissociate (separate) in solution and can conduct electricity.
At room temperature, most ionic compounds are solids.
Yes, ionic compounds can only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.
