In solid state because it looses its electron so it does not but when it gain electron in liquid n gas state, so it conducts electricity.

Why dont ionic compounds not conduct electricity well?
Yes, they do conduct very well electricity (double negative is positive!)
Do ionic compounds conduct heat?
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......
Why ionic substances do not conduct electricity as solid but when molten state?
I dont really know
How are the melting points and boiling point of molecular compounds different from ionic compounds?
they have diferent temp. also the ionic compounds dont melt they steam
Can covalent compounds conduct electricity in water?
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.

What are the characteristic properties of organic and inorganic compound?
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.
What is a true metal?

Why dont molecular compounds conduct electricity when dissolves in water?
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.
The ability to dissolve in water and to conduct electricity are examples of what?
These are examples of physical properties.
Which nonmetal shows metallic conduction?
I dont know if you mean elements or compounds. If you mean both, there are a group of organic compounds called conducting polymers that conduct electricity through a series of double and single bonds. Read more on Polypyyrole, polyaniline, polythiophene etc if interested
What are some noble gases of ionic compounds?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They are stable and chemically inert (non-reactive). So generally they will not accept / gain electrons and dont form ionic compounds.
