What type of chemical bonds are present in a solid compound which has a high melting point, does not conduct electricity in the solid-state but becomes a good conductor in the molten state?

Solution:

Ionic bonds exist in a solid compound with a high melting point that does not conduct electricity in its solid form but does so in its molten state.

Ionic bonding is the principal interaction happening in ionic compounds, and it involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions or between two atoms with sharply differing electronegativities.
