Solution
Very low value of electrical conductivity in the molten state.
Explanation:
| Type of solid | Con- stituent particles | Bonding/ attractive forces | Exam- ples | Physical nature | Electrical conductivity |
Melting point |
| Ionic solids | Ions | Coulom- bic or electro- static |
NaCl, MgO, ZnS, CaF2 | Hard but brittle | Insulators in solid state but conduc- tors in mol- ten state and in aqueous solutions |
