  • Electrical Conductivity - Property of Ionic Compounds
    • When an ionic compound is melted or dissolved in water:
      • The solid lattice breaks down and the ions are free to move
      • The solid compound is now a conductor of electricity
    • In a solid ionic lattice:
      • The ionic compound is a non-conductor of electricity
      • The ions are in a fixed position and no ions can move
