Regan Ellis · Answer 1

If these are you choices:

(1) Both the solid and the liquid are good conductors.

(2) Both the solid and the liquid are poor conductors.

(3) The solid is a good conductor, and the liquid is a poor conductor.

(4) The solid is a poor conductor, and the liquid is a good conductor.

Then the answer is number 4. This is because ionic compound conducts electricity when it is dissolved in water.
