Detailed Solution

Ions in ionic compounds conduct electricity. Ions cannot freely move about inside a solid because of the strong electrostatic forces that hold them together. Therefore, the ions are free to travel and can conduct electricity when they are in a molten and aqueous state.
Hence, it can be concluded that ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state but conduct electricity in molten and aqueous states.
