Answer 1

Carbon compounds are poor conductors of electricity as they form covalent bonds, so it does not give rise to free electrons ( all electrons are used in making the covalent bond) and as a carbon compound does not dissociate itself into ions, therefore carbon compounds are poor conductors of electricity. Hope it will really help you.........!!!!
