Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Structure And Bonding (Section 1 - No. 31)
Why are covalent compounds generally poor conductors of electricity?
They do not contain charged particles that are free to move.
They have high melting points.
The electrons are tightly held within the covalent bonds.
Both A and C are correct.
Explanation
Covalent compounds lack free ions or delocalized electrons required for electrical conductivity.
