Usually no. Molecular covalent bonded compounds do not conduct electricity. When the bonding is covalent and the bonds are sigma bonds the electrons are not free to move.
HOWEVER. Take graphite covalently bonded and a relatively poor conductor of electricity- because of its free electrons.
There are conductive organic polymers, these have free delocalised electrons.

How do you distinguish weather a compound is an ironic or covalent?
What i know is that electrons in ions have been transferred and in covalents they have just been shared... so i would look at the number of electrons
Are non polar covalents created when the shared electrons between atoms are not equally shared?
are non covalent created when the shared electrons between atoms are not equally shared
Can covalent compounds conduct electricity in water?
Generally, molecular covalent substances do not conduct electricity. Carbon as graphite is the exception. This is because they are neutrally charged; they do not have ions or delocalized electrons as these are being shared by the non-metals. Yet some conduct electricity when dissolved in water. This is because some react with water to produce ions which are attracted to the oppositely charged electrodes.
What is the Ground state electron configuration for oxygen?
O: 1s22s22p4
Do brinjal conduct electricity?
no brinjal does not conduct electricity
What bond connect monomer of lipids?
Covalents .
What does bythermal conductivity mean?
Contains 2 different metals which conduct elec because they have different expansion rates. Like an old car choke that had a bi thermal coil which would wind/unwind with heat moving an arm or elec contact.
How do you know if you have an ionic or molecular compound?
The easiest difference to see is that ionic compounds dissolved in water conduct electricity, while covalent ones do not. Ionic compounds consist of a metal and non-metal, but covalents have only non-metal atoms.
When did Elec Ní hUicinn die?
Elec Ní hUicinn died in 1471.
Which Molecules contains a polar covalents bond O2 CO H2 N2?
CO
Can you put an overdrive transmission in a 1981 Chevy truck that has a 3 speed automatic in it now Do you have to change rear end?
yes some trans are electronic, this could give you a problem with your computer or harness in the truck do your research .You can get elec. or none elec. I have a 4l60e there are two elec. or no elec. as far as the rear end your good to go.
Do all computers support dane elec 4gb flash drive?
The Dane-Elec Flash Drive is compatible with Windows and Mac.
Which bond is strong covalent bond or ionic bond?
Ionic bonds are -generally speaking- stronger than single covalents.
Who is the finder of elec light?
Thomas Edison
What causes static elec in your hair?
friction.
What is the conductor of elec tricity?
Pure silver
Are diatomic covalents held together by single covalent bond?
Sometimes yes - e.g. Chlorine. Sometimes no e.g Oxygen and Nitrogen.
