Question

Nitrogen Oxygen and Carbon dioxide with constitute air are all poor conductor of electricity why?

Answer 1

Here, both the compounds, CO2and SiO2, have stable electronic configurations due to bonding. For example, carbon is sharing the 4 valence electrons of 2oxygen molecules, making bothCarbon and Oxygen achieve fully filled orbitals. Thus, lack of free electrons make CO2 and SiO2bad conductors of electricity.
