The electrical conductivity of ionic compounds in molten state is due to the presence of ________.

Open in App

Solution

1.Molten state: Ionic compounds when heated directly without adding a solvent turn into liquid form. This state is called molten state.
2.In molten state, ionic compounds split and forms ions. These ions are responsible for the electrical conductivity.
Ex: $N a C l$ - $N a^{+} a n d C l^{-}$ ions are formed in molten state.
