Question

Why are aqueous solution of ionic compounds able to conduct electricity?

Solution

 Aqueous solution of ionic compounds is able to conduct electricity because in aqueous solution, the strong force of attraction between ions is vanished. Their constituent ions get separated and become free to move across the solution. Due to this movement of ions, aqueous solution of ionic compounds conducts electricity.
