Ionic compounds conduct electric current when they are dissolved in water or melted because their ionic bonds break, allowing the ions to move freely. This movement of charged particles facilitates the flow of electric current. In solid form, ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are fixed in place within the crystal lattice and cannot move. However, the presence of mobile ions in the liquid state enables conductivity.
