in order to conduct electricity, an element needs to be in aqeuos form. covalent compounds are NEVER aqeuous - i think it is only ionic which are aqeuous... maybe metallics.
the conduction of electricity is caused becaue the ionic compound dissociates to give ions [both postively charged ones and negatively charged ones], thus conducting electricity. ;;
covalent compounds do not have these ions and therefore cannot conduct electricity
ionic compounds contain a metal and a non metal

yeah
oooh yh
thanks?
hy
only chargex particles can conduct electriciry...and ions formed by ionic compounds are responsible for conduction..

salt is an ionic compound ..in water it dissolves and make it ionic as Na+ and Cl - but glucose is organic in nature and is not ionic ..so don't conduct
