Potassium Bromide or KBr is not able to conduct electricity in solid state. It is an ionic compound and its ions are not free to move in the solid state, hence they are not able to conduct electricity. But when they are in aqueous state, they are free to move and thus
become able to conduct electricity.
Potassium chloride is an ionic solid, the ionic solids can conduct the electricity if they are in molten state or in aqueous solution.
Potassium can only conduct electricity when it is in a solid state potassium nitrate is not a solid.
Because in solid state ions are not free for move,but in melt condition they move & current flow.
KNO3 will be conductive either in molten form or in aqueous solution.
Because there are no motile ions or electrons
No because it's a crystalline ionic solid. However, dissolve some KBr in water and it will conduct electricity nicely, because in solution it's an electrolyte, with lots of little K+ and Br- ions floating around.
The element copper can conduct electricity. These are two completely different chemical substances.

Cesium Chloride can only conduct electricity in water or while molten. Once cesium chloride is in a solid state it will not conduct electricity.
Some do- for example molten silicon conducts like ametal when molten.

Potassium is a metal. Like other metals, potassium will conduct electricity in both the solid and liquid (or molten) forms. But because potassium is so very reactive, you will never find it in metallic form on earth, unless it is specially prepared and stored, usually in a sealed container submerged in an inert liquid. Potassium is found in nature as ionic salts. Ionic salts conduct electricity in a molten state, but not a solid state.
It does not conduct electricity
When it's in a solid form no but if it is a liquid (when placed in a solution) then yes it does conduct electricity.
No because it's a crystalline ionic solid. However, dissolve some KBr in water and it will conduct electricity nicely, because in solution it's an electrolyte, with lots of little K+ and Br- ions floating around.
I didn't know electricity had a molten state...
a molten one
Beacause they consist of free ions which conduct electricity

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
Potassium is a very reactive metal, but being a metal, it conducts very well in the solid state. It does not have to be melted, but it will conduct in the molten state as well (but to a different extent).
Not in its standard solid state. But it will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
