Detailed Solution

Ionic compounds are able to conduct electricity when they are in molten or liquid state or when they are in aqueous solution, which means they are dissolved in water. This is because their ions are free to move when in water. Ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity when solid due to the fact that their ions are in a fixed position and cannot move.
