Electrovalent compounds conduct electricity in molten or aqueous . Explain.

Electrovalent compounds conduct electricity in aqueous or molten state whereas does not conduct electricity in solid state .In order to conduct electricity ,free moving ions are needed .
In solids ,ions or charged particles are closely packed and hence are not free to move.But in aqueous and molten state ions are free to move and hence they conduct electricity.
.
Hope this answer helps.
