Because there are motile electrons in the electron pool
No, baking soda is a poor electrical conductor. It is a non-metallic compound and does not have free-moving electrons that can carry an electric current.
In a melted ionic compound, the ions are free to move and carry electric charge, allowing the compound to conduct electricity. In a solid ionic compound, the ions are fixed in position and cannot move freely, so they are unable to carry electric charge and conduct electricity effectively.
Carbon in the form of graphite is used as an electrical conductor (the brushes in electric motors)
No, solid sodium chloride is not a good conductor of electric current because it is an ionic compound. In the solid state, the ions are not free to move and carry electric charge, so it does not conduct electricity well.
Ionic compounds have good electrical conductivity in the liquid state because the ions are free to move and carry an electric charge. In the liquid state, the ions are not held in fixed positions like in the solid state, allowing them to flow and conduct electricity.
Upon melting, the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.
High boiling points, good conductor of heat and electricity, high solubility
It depends on the liquid. Oil would not be a good conductor of electricity. Water is a good conductor, though distilled water is not. Any liquid metal or ionic compound would be a good conductor.

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

Pure water is a very poor conductor of electricity. Dissolving an ionic compound in water makes the solution a very good conductor.
Sulfur is generally not a good conductor of heat and electricity, if it is the atom itself you are talking about. If Sulfur is present in an ionic compound, (example: Copper Sulfide, Lead Sulfide), then this compound will conduct electricity in only the MOLTEN state. Also, if Sulfur is in a polyatomic ion (example: Sulfate) and this polyatomic ion forms an ionic compound with another metal, in an aqueous solution, then it will conduct electricity. Remember, ionic compounds only conduct in the MOLTEN/LIQUID state. Glad to help, regards
Soluble ionic compounds are excellent conductors of electricity when dissolved in water - such as sodium chloride (common salt)
insulator.
Nitrogen is not a good electrical conductor.
Well, bone is not a conductor because it doesnt reflect or let electricity throughso bone is an insulator
