Do ionic solids conduct electric current in the solid state?

Can sodium chloride conduct electricity in the solid state ?

Is the conductivity of ionic solids due to the presence of ions ?

Explain the following: (a) Sodium chloride is an ionic compound which does not conduct electricity in solid state whereas it does conduct electricity in molten state as well as in aqueous solution. (b) Reactivity of aluminium decrease if it is dipped in nitric acid. (c) Metals like calcium and magnesium are never found in their free state in nature.

Explain why : sodium chloride does not conduct electricity in the solid state but conduct in the fused state or in aqueous solution

Ionic solids conduct electricity in the molten state and not in the solid state. Explain.

Explain the following: Covalent compounds do not conduct electric current in the fused state, whereas ionic solids do.

Give reasons why? Ionic compounds do not conduct electric current in the solid state

In ionic solids, the oppositely charged ions are closely packed in space and have strong electrostatic forces of attraction. These compound have high melting and boiling points and are poor conductors of electricity in the solid state. (i) Why are ionic solids poor conductros of electricity ? (ii) What happens to electrical conductivity when these are dissolved in water ?

Explain giving reasons why ionic solids conduct electricity in molten state, but not in solid state.
