Your question is not entirely correct in its assumption that gases don't conduct electricity; an ionized gas can conduct electricity very well, and in fact, that is necessary for the functioning of fluorescent light tubes (whether of the large or compact sizes) or neon lighting, which contain gases which become ionized when the light is on. But it is true that a non-ionized gas doesn't conduct electricity, and that is the kind of gas that we normally encounter; the air that we breathe is not ionized. If it were ionized, then all of our electrical equipment, wall outlets etc., would immediately short-circuit.
Electricity acts on electrically charged objects of some kind, it cannot exert its force or interact with uncharged objects. So a normal air molecule is electrically neutral; it has no charge, therefore it has to way to interact with electricity. It does contain electrically charged component parts, which are the negatively charged electrons and the positively charged protons, but they are combined into electrically neutral atoms and molecules in which the positive and negative charges balance each other out. If a gas molecule is ionized by tearing away an electron, you are then left with a postively charged ionized molecule. Or you could add an electron and get a negatively charged ion. It works either way.
Methane is a covalent molecule and does not break into ions (which are responsible to conduct the electricity between two electrodes) so methane is non conductor.
because it is a bad conductor of electricity
'Cause it is a gas. Electrons can't 'travel' in empty space with only some molecules.
Because they suck
Methane is not a metal. It is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH4.
no brinjal does not conduct electricity
It does not conduct electricity
Why does CCl4 not conduct electricity?
1. Gold alloys are resistant to moisture. 2. Gold alloys are good conductors of electricity.
yes. Salt water can conduct electricity. It can also be a battery but not a very sustainable one.
no! All lakes on earth rite now conduct electricity. u cant make any lke that pure
hmmm i also have the same question but i cant find it.

one simple answer is that whan NaCl is solid the ions Na+ and Cl- are not free to move and conduct the electricity. when in a aqeous solution and as a liquid the ions are free to move and the electricity can be conducted. hope this helps

No, methanol does not conduct electricity. It does not conduct electricity because it is a non-electrolyte molecule. Sugar also is non-electrolyte, therefore it also does not conduct electricity.

Yes bananas conduct electricity
