The conduction of electricity requires charged particles called ions.
Ions are formed by losing or gaining of electrons.
Since there is No formation of ions In carbon compounds as carbon forms covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
Therefore it is a poor conductor of electricity.
Still graphite an allotrope of carbon is a good conductor of electricity as its arrangement is different.
