An ionic compound is a substance that contains atoms that are bonded together through an ionic bond, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another. For the given experiment above, the material that is missing from the list is WATER or solvent. It is necessary because conduction through water will help you identify if a sample compound is ionic through its electrolytes. <span>Ionic compounds that are soluble are typically electrolytes</span>
