Answer and explanation:

Ionic compounds are formed by elements with a considerable electronegativity difference. They are typically composed by an element of groups IA or IIA of the Periodic Table (with lower electronegativity, so it tends to lose electrons) and a other element of groups VIA or VIIA (with higher electronegativity, thus it tends to gain electrons). For example, KCl is formed by K (group IA), which loses one electron and forms the cation K⁺, and Cl (group VIIA) which gains the electron and forms the anion Cl⁻.

Ionic compounds are compound that contains ions held together by ionic bonds. They are made up of particles that are arranged in a repeating pattern. Ions are said to be packed in a regular crystalline structures in an arrangement with the least energy.

Why are most solid ionic compounds electrically nonconductive, whereas aqueous solutions of ionic compounds are good conductors

Allisa [31]

Answer:

there must be free-moving electrons in a compound to conduct electricity.

in solid ionic compounds, there are no free electrons so it can't conduct electricity.

But in aqueous form the forces of attraction are broken and the ions (cations and anions) are free to move. This means there are free electrons that allow the aqueous compound to conduct electricity.
