Answer. Covalent compounds are poor conductors of electricity because these compounds do not have any charged particles as they are made by sharing of electrons.

Explanation: The conduction of electricity through a solution involves the the movement of charged particles/ ions. Covalent compounds do not contain ions and hence are generally bad conductors of electricity.

hope it's help u.......
