Does an Ionic Compound Conduct Electricity? — State-by-State Decision

Does an Ionic Compound Conduct Electricity? — State-by-State Decision

The map in words

  • Ionic Compound
    • What is its state?
      • Solid State: Ions FIXED in Lattice
        • No Current Flows
          • Poor Conductor in Solid State
      • Molten State: Ions are FREE to Move
        • Current Flows - Good Conductor
          • Electrolysis Possible
      • Dissolved in Water: Ions are FREE to Move
        • Current Flows - Good Conductor
