a) Electricity is not able to conduct efficiently through covalent compounds because there are no ions to move the electrical charge.
b) Covalent compounds have weak forces of attraction between the binding molecules. Thus less energy is required to break the force of bonding. Therefore covalent compounds have low melting and boiling point.
