Do sulfur, sugar, potassium iodine and magnesium sulphate conduct electricity as solids?

0

None of these conduct electricity as solids. None of these have electrons that are so loosely bound that they can be moved from one atom to the next to conduct electricity as happens in the metals. Molten ionic salts conduct electricity not because the electrons can move, but instead, because the ions themselves can move, and thus conduct electricity.
