why are carbon compounds not able to conduct electricity through them. . . .???

Metals have many free electrons and therefore are much better conductors ofelectricity. Most of the carbon compounds do not conduct electricity because they have low melting and boiling points. ... So we can say that in carbon compounds, the bonding between carbon and other atoms is non-ionic in nature.

Carbon itself does not conduct electricity, but its allotrope graphite does. This is because graphite has a “free” electron in its outer shell that allows it to conduct some electricity. Metals have many free electrons and therefore are much better conductors of electricity
