Question

why are most carbon compounds poor conductor of electricity

Answer 1

because covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons..they don't have a free electron that is required for electricitytransfer(electricity is the flow of free electrons!) thus they re bad conductors.. but ionic compounds are good conductor because of the same reason.

Hope it will help and make it pls brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

Carbon compounds are poor conductor of electricity because they form covalent bond and carbon compounds do not give rise to free electrons or ions in aqueous solution. As result they are poor conductor of electricity .
