Q: In what state do ionic compounds best conduct electricity?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Solid ionic compounds are poor conductors of electricity. The strong bonds between ions lock them into place in the crystal. However, in the liquid state, ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity. Most ionic compounds dissolve easily in water. When they dissolve, they separate into individual ions. The ions can move freely, so they are good conductors of electricity. Dissolved ionic compounds are called electrolytes.

 Choices:

- gas

- solid

- plasma

- liquid


A:
liquid
