Answer» (a) Ionic compounds conduct electricity in solution because they are made up of electrically charged ions but covalent compounds are made u p of electrically neutral molecules so they do not conduct electricity. (b) Conduct electricity: MgCl 2 , NaCl, Na 2 S (Ionic compounds) Do not con duct electricity: CCl 4 , CS 2 ( Covalent compounds) . |
