Question

Why covalent compounds does not conducts electricity?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity; this is because covalent compounds do not have charged particles capable of transporting electrons. Lewis theory also accounts for bond length; the stronger the bond and the more electrons shared, the shorter the bond length is.

Answer 2

Answer:

Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons i.e. Overlapping of orbitals…!

As covalent bonds do not break easily (dissociate) , they do not form ions which help in conduction of electricity , so covalent compounds having covalents bond dont conduct electricty as the dont have free electrons or ions either to tranfer energy…!
