Answer:covalent compounts are made by sharing of electrons so there are no free ions to conduct electricity. they have low melting and boiling points because they are made of electrically neutral molecules so, the force of attraction is also weak only a small amount of heat energy is required to break these molecular forces

Answer:
because covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons..they don't have a free electron that is required for electricity transfer(electricity is the flow of free electrons!) thus they re bad conductors.. but ionic compounds are good conductor because of the same reason... ... They do not conduct electricity.
