Question

why covalent compounds are poor conductors of electricity​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbon compounds are poor electrical conductors because they form covalent bonds, and they do not give rise to free electrons because all electrons are used to create the covalent bond. Also carbon compound does not dissociate itself into ions, so carbon compounds are poor electrical conductors.
