Alcohol and are organic compounds which form strong covalent bonds. This means that they do not have free floating electrons in their framework, which are the drivers of electrical current. This makes them unable to conduct electricity.

Answer:
Alcohol doesn't conduct electricity because it's a covalent compound. ... Hence alcohol molecules are not ionized in water because the bonding within these molecules is strong enough to resist the breaking of their bonding by polar water. So, these compounds are not splitting in to ions,hence conductivity is zero.
