Will silver nitrate conduct electricity and why?

Silver nitrate (AgNO₃) can conduct electricity when it is dissolved in water or melted because it dissociates into its constituent ions, silver ions (Ag⁺) and nitrate ions (NO₃⁻). In the aqueous or molten state, these free ions can move and carry electric current. However, in its solid form, silver nitrate does not conduct electricity, as the ions are locked in a lattice structure and cannot move freely.
