Yes, they do conduct very well electricity (double negative is positive!)
Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when they are in a solid state because the ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move to carry a charge. However, when the ionic compound is melted or dissolved in water, the ions become free to move and conduct electricity.
Ionic solids are not good conductor as the ions in solid forms is not free as in aqueous or molten form. In melted ionic compounds, there are free electrons that attaches to the opposite poles producing electricity....rajat......
Ionic substances do not conduct electricity as solids because the ions are locked in place and cannot move to carry the electric current. However, when the ionic substance is melted, the ions are free to move and carry the charge, allowing the substance to conduct electricity.
The type of bonding in a compound (ionic, covalent, metallic) affects properties such as melting point, conductivity, and solubility. For example, compounds with ionic bonds tend to have high melting points and conduct electricity when dissolved in water, while covalent compounds tend to have lower melting points and may not conduct electricity. The strength and nature of the bonds between atoms influence the overall properties of the compound.
Generally, molecular covalent substances do not conduct electricity. Carbon as graphite is the exception. This is because they are neutrally charged; they do not have ions or delocalized electrons as these are being shared by the non-metals. Yet some conduct electricity when dissolved in water. This is because some react with water to produce ions which are attracted to the oppositely charged electrodes.

Molecular compounds are charge neutral. Molecular compounds dissolve in water as individual molecules. For example if 1.0g of C12H22011 (sucrose or table sugar) dissolves in water the solid will become many individual C12H22011 molecules floating in water but will remain charge neutral. Therefore, this solution does not conduct electricity. This is known as a nonelectrolyte solution. On the other hand, when ionic compounds, like NaCl (table salt), are dissolved in solution they break up into individual ions. In this case Na+ and Cl-. These ions with their respective charges make the solution electrically conductive. This is called an electrolyte solution.

Molecular compounds typically have lower melting points and boiling points compared to ionic compounds. This is because molecular compounds are held together by weaker intermolecular forces (such as Van der Waals forces) compared to the strong electrostatic interactions in ionic compounds.
Some characteristics of organic compounds are that many are gases or solids that have low melting points and they do not conduct electricity. Some characteristics of inorganic compounds are almost all are insoluble inorganic solvents, they do form ions that can conduct electricity, and most have high melting points.
These are examples of physical properties.
Pineapples contain water and electrolytes, which can conduct electricity. The ions in the water inside the pineapple allow for the flow of electric current when a voltage is applied.
Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points due to the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the ions. They are often brittle and tend to form crystalline structures due to the arrangement of ions in a regular pattern. Ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when dissolved in water or in a molten state, as the ions can move freely to carry electric charge.
dont ask me jk............it is conduct
