yes.
Melted wax does not conduct electricity because it is an insulator. Insulators do not allow electricity to flow through them because the electrons in the material are tightly bound and cannot move freely to conduct an electric current. This makes melted wax a poor conductor of electricity.
No, ClBr (chlorine bromide) does not conduct electricity as it is a covalent compound. Ionic compounds typically conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted because they dissociate into ions that can carry an electric charge.
Salts can conduct electricity when they are dissolved in water or melted because they dissociate into ions. These free-moving ions allow for the flow of electric current. In their solid state, salts do not conduct electricity because the ions are fixed in place within a rigid lattice structure and cannot move freely.
Ionic compounds do conduct electricity, but only when they are dissolved in water or melted. In these states, the ions are free to move, allowing them to carry an electric current. However, in solid form, ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are fixed in place within the crystal lattice and cannot move freely.
The substance you're describing is likely a type of ionic compound, such as salt (sodium chloride). When melted, ionic compounds can easily conduct electricity due to the movement of ions, but their chemical structure remains unchanged when electric currents pass through them. This property allows them to carry electric current while maintaining their identity.
Salt does conduct electricity when melted.
No, solid sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2) and sugar crystals do not conduct electricity because they are not composed of ions that are free to move and carry an electric charge. Both substances are molecular compounds, which do not dissociate into ions in the solid state.
no
An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.
They conduct electricity only if they are electrolytes: in water solutions or when they are melted.

Electrolytes
An ionic compound. Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in their solid state because the ions are locked in place and cannot move to carry a charge. However, when melted, these ions are free to move and conduct electricity.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in solution, as their ions are free to move and carry electrical charge. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity in any state, as they do not have free-moving ions or electrons.
Sodium chloride conduct electricity only when is as an electrolyte: in water solution or melted.
Potassium Bromide will conduct electricity only when it is melted or dissolved in water
