There are no free eletcrons and the ions are held tightly in place in the ionic lattice. So therefore when an electric field is applied there is nothing that can readily move
Ionic compounds are good electrical conductors in the liquid state.
Cookware needs to have good thermal conductivity, while ionic compounds have poor conductivity. Additionally, ionic compounds are brittle and prone to shattering when subjected to mechanical stress, making them unsuitable for cookware that requires durability and resistance to impact.
Almost all molten covalent compounds are much worseconductors than almost any molten ionic compounds. However, note that some ionic compounds contain covalently bonded polyatomic ions, and many of these can conduct electricity as well as most other ions in a melt.
Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points due to strong electrostatic forces between ions. They are good conductors of electricity in molten or aqueous states but not in solid form. Ionic compounds are often soluble in water but insoluble in nonpolar solvents.
Covalent compounds are generally not good conductors because the electrons are not free to move. Solid ionic compounds are generally not good conductors because the ions are not free to move as they are locked in place in a lattice (this is not true when ionic compounds are molten or in solution!)As always there are a few exceptions, graphite is covalent but the electrons are delocalised and it does conduct, there are also a few other inorganic conductors.There are also some conductive organic polymers which have delocalised free electrons, these are called ICP's .There is also a small group of what are called fast ion conductors where the crystal structure allows the ions to wander, some are used in solid oxide fuel cells.

Ionic compounds are conductors in solution or melted.
Usually, solid ionic compounds are weak conductors of electricity. Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds are good conductors though as they have free ions for conductivity. When table salt is dissolved, the solution conducts electricity well.

Yes.

There are free ions in the liquid state of ionic compound, hence the are good conductors of electricity.

An ionic compound always exists in solid state.
