Why are covalent compounds generally poor conductors of electricity?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because they do not have free ions or free electrons

The governing concept is electrical conduction by mobile charged particles. In most covalent compounds, atoms share electrons to form neutral molecules, so the electrons are localized in bonds and free ions are absent. Without mobile charges, an electric current cannot pass easily. Therefore option A is correct. Option B is false because covalent substances are generally non-metals, while option C describes ionic behavior that is not typical of them.
