Problem
A crystalline solid placed between two electrodes does not light a test bulb at room temperature. When the solid is carefully melted, the bulb immediately glows. Classify the type of solid (ionic, molecular, metallic, or covalent network) and state the key reason for its change in conductivity upon melting.
