The diagram shows the electrolysis of lead(II) bromide using inert electrodes. Why does the bulb only light up when the lead(II) bromide is melted?

• Bromine atoms in lead(II) bromide are converted to ions when it is melted

• Electrons flow through the lead(II) bromide when it is melted

• The ions in lead(II) bromide are mobile charge carriers in the molten state.

• There are no ions in solid lead(II) bromide
