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.
This is the right answer for your question.
