Question

why are most carbon compounds are poor conductor of electricity

Answer 1

Answer: Read explanation

Explanation:

Carbon compounds form Covalent bonds

(chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms). They do not dissociate into ions and do not have ions.

Answer 2

Carbon always forms covalent bond with other atoms.

It does not form ions readily.

Since covalent compounds are poor conductors of electricity, most carbon compounds do not conduct electricity.
