The lattice of an ionic compound is held together by strong ionic bonds between the ions and a large amount of energy is needed to overcome these strong bonds. As a result, ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.

∙ 12y agoLithium fluoride is ionic that's y it conduct electricity in molten state.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIonic compounds are usually solid in nature and free flow of ions is not possible . However , in molten state the ions are able to flow freely and thus conduct electricity.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, lithium as its own can conduct as a solid, however lithium floride can only conduct when molten.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes. It is classified as a "conductor", yes, but it isn't a very good one. It conducts electricity about 5 times worse than copper does.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoMolten lithium chloride conduct electricity because is dissociated in ions Li+ and Cl-.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoBecause when is molten MgF2 is dissociated in ions.

Does solid lithium bromide conduct electricity?
no. it is an ionic compound which does not conduct electricity as the ions are not free to move around. however when they are in molten or aqueous state, they are able to conduct electricty as the ions disssociate and then will be free to move about freely.
Why molten sulfur can't conduct electricity but molten copper chloride can?
The element copper can conduct electricity. These are two completely different chemical substances.

Does Caesium Chloride Conduct Electricity?
Cesium Chloride can only conduct electricity in water or while molten. Once cesium chloride is in a solid state it will not conduct electricity.
Can giant covalent structures conduct electricity when molten?
Some do- for example molten silicon conducts like ametal when molten.
Does lithium conduct electric?
Yes, lithium is an alkali metal and it conducts electricity. Its symbol is Li and its atomic number is 3.
Does molten sugar conduct electricity?
It does not conduct electricity

Can ethanoic acid conduct electricity in molten state?
I didn't know electricity had a molten state...
Why ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are in molten state?
a molten one
Can lithium conduct electricity?
Lithium(Li) or lithos (meaning stone in greek) is an Alkali metal, on which is located on the Periodic Table of Elements in Group I, Row 2. Like all metals Alkali metals are good electrical conductors. Therefore Lithium does conduct Electricity.
Why sodium chloride will conduct electricity when molten?
Beacause they consist of free ions which conduct electricity
Why molten sulfur can't conduct electricity but molten copper chloride can?
The element copper can conduct electricity. These are two completely different chemical substances.
How do ionic compounds conduct?
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
Does potassuim hydroxide conduct electricity?
Not in its standard solid state. But it will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
Does ionic compounds conduct in electricity?
Ionic compounds will not conduct electricity as solids, which is what they are at room temperature. However, they will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
