In ionic compounds, electricity is conducted by ions. In solid state, ions are held together
by strong electrostatic forces and are not free to move about within the solid. Hence,
ionic solids do not conduct electricity in solid state. However, in molten state or in
solution form, the ions are free to move and can conduct electricity.
