1. Show the class pictures of five very different mammals, such as a cat, kangaroo, horse, rabbit, and monkey. Explain that all these animals are mammals, and that mammals constitute one class of the animal kingdom, which also includes other classes, such as reptiles, birds, and fish. Ask students what these five mammals have in common and mark their responses on a sheet of chart paper.
When ionic compounds are in a molten state or dissolved in water, forming an aqueous solution, the ions that formed the ionic compounds are able to move around freely, thus able to conduct electricity.
Report Abuse. the ionic compounds conduct when they are molten because their structure is loose and there are weakly shared pairs. the metals conduct better because of a specific trait called sea of electrons. The positive nuclei of the metal atoms is held together while all the electrons are free to move.hy do ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten, and why does metal conduct electricity anyway? I kind of know the answers, i just cant put em in words :P.
