Because the ions forming the compound will have to separate from each other then. As a result, ionic compounds disintigrated into a myriad of single lonely ions floating free in water (in solutions). The process is known as electrolytic dissociation.

Eletric current is co-directed movement of particles exhibiting similar charge.

Water doesn't have charged particles constituting it. No electricity.

Ionic compounds do have charged particles (i.e. ions), but those are locked within the lattice and cannot move. No electricity.

Ionic compounds in water disintegrate into free floating (capable of moving) ions (charged particles). All you have to do is get all the positive charges moving one way and all the negative ones moving the other and here you have it - electricity! That is achieved through applying external magnetic field.

This is why ionic compunds can conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted.

What does it mean to say that a wave is cyclic, or periodic, disturbance?
Zina [86]

Answer:

Wave is a disturbance or energy that propagate through medium from one point to other point

So basically it is a flowing energy that flows into the medium and hence medium particles start oscillating about their mean position to and fro.

This motion of medium particles or this to and fro motion is about their mean position and this will always be cyclic or periodic motion

This means the disturbance or energy continuously flow through the medium such that it will change the position of medium particle and this will be cyclic in order

For an example

y(x,t) = Asin(kx - ωt + φ)

So here above equation of wave is a travelling wave in which displacement of medium particle from its mean position is given by "y"

Now we can see that this disturbance depends upon the sine function and it will repeat its same position after every 2 pi time interval as it is cyclic function for this value

Due to this phenomenon of repetition of its same position we can say that it is disturbance of wave is cyclic.
