Answr. .
Carbon compounds are covalent compounds. Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons.
The electrons in the outermost shell are shared by the nearmost atoms which makes them unavailable for conducting electricity.
Also no chaged particales are formed in the solution.
Hence, carbon compounds along with other covalent compounds are poor conductors of electricity.
Only at high temperature, some lectrons move from valence band to conduction band. But the number of charge carriers are low, hence they are poor conductors.
hope it's helpful.

Because carbon forms covalent bonds with no extra electron pair outside unlike in the case of ionic bonds ..So the elements with ionic bonds conduct electricity but elements with covalent bonds do not ..As their is no free pair to carry the charge ...
