Explanation:

A ionic compound is defined as the compound formed due to transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Hence, when an ionic compound is dissolved in water then it dissociates into ions.

As electricity is the flow of ions or electrons. Therefore, upon dissolution of an ionic compound in water presence of ions is responsible for the flow of electric current.

Thus, we can conclude that given white crystalline salt has ionic bond.
