From a measurement standpoint--- use a conductivity meter. It can be something as simple as a battery hooked up to a light bulb with two wires opening the circuit. Complete the circuit by touching the wires to the compound and if the light bulb lights then it is a compound that conducts. If what you have in mind is making predictions instead of measurements, then stick with the general principle that metals conduct, metalloids are semiconductors (partially conduct), and non-metals are usually insulators (do not conduct). Ionic compounds are, as solids, insulators. However, an ionic compound dissolved in water will conduct electricity through the solution.

Answer:
Salts, acids, alkali - anything wth an ionic component. Compounds like water, oils are generally insulators in their pure state.

What type of compound conducts electricity when dissolved in water?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved. Sodium chloride is an example
Does aluminum oxide conduct in liquid form?
As aluminium oxide is an ionic compound, it conducts electricity in molten state.
Which is a molecular substance whose water solution conducts electricity?
This is an ionic compound dissociated in water.
Copper metal conducts electricity through electrons whereas it solved solution conducts electricity through ions do you agree?
no,if it is dissolved in solutions it conducts electricity through electron the electricity means flow of electrons.
What are the charged particles that move when a liquid conducts electricity?
Liquid conducts electricity due to movement of ions.
What compound conducts electricity molten state?
ionic compounds
Which compound conducts electricity only in the molten state?
Sodium Bromide
What type of compound conducts electricity when dissolved in water?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved. Sodium chloride is an example
What tests you could use to discover if a compound were ionic or molecular?
Dissolve them in water. If the solution conducts electricity, then the solute is an ionic compound. If not, then it is a molecular compound.
What are the metallic property?
conducts electricity conducts electricity
What is the Reaction of an ion with water called?
Dissolve, solution An ionic compound, when dissolved in water, conducts electricity.
Does aluminum oxide conduct in liquid form?
As aluminium oxide is an ionic compound, it conducts electricity in molten state.
Why do ionic compound conduct electricity we'll when they are dissolved in water?
Because, the ions are free to move about, and the solution conducts current.
An aqueous solution of an ionic compound turns red litmus blue conducts electricity and reacts with an acid to form a salt and water This compound could be?
HCI
Does SCl2 conduct electricity?
no because its a covalent compound, it undergoes covalent bonding. if it was a metallic or ionic then it would conduct when molten or in aqueous state. the only element that undergoes a covalent bonding and conducts electricity is graphite, no other element or allotrope conducts.
What is the conducts?
That means how good something conducts electricity.
Which element or compound melts at a high temperature conducts electricity when it is melted and splits up when a current passes through?
