Ionic salts themselves cannot conduct electricity in solid form because their ions are fixed in place within a crystal lattice. However, when dissolved in water or melted, ionic salts dissociate into free-moving ions, allowing them to conduct electricity. This property is utilized in electrolysis, where ionic solutions can be used to produce metal wires from their respective metal cations. Therefore, while ionic salts don't directly produce wire, they can facilitate the process of metal wire production through electrochemical methods.
