Compounds (material's) that are good conductors are the ones that have many free electrons to cause electron drift. Free electrons are ones that are not closely bound to their nucleus and can move from one atom to another. copper, aluminium, silver are among the best. insulators such as plastic, rubber or any non metallic material do not have any free electrons, thus make good insulators. Resistors are materials as iron, nickel and nichrome. some of there energy is absorbed in the electron drift.

∙ 13y agoNo, covalent bonds usually don't conduct electricity.
Also an ionic bond is a good conductor of electricity in an aqueous solution(mixed with water)
Hope this helps

∙ 15y agoNo, covalent bonds do not contain ions and so have a low conductivity.

∙ 15y agoBoth ionic and covalently bonded crystals are very poor conductors of heat and electricity in solid form. However, ionic crystals dissolved in water are excellent conductors of both.

no
What kind of covalent bond is formed with two nonmetals?
It can be either a polar covalent bond or a nonpolar covalent bond. C-Cl is an example of a polar covalent bond, while C-C is a good example of a nonpolar covalent bond.

How a covalent bond differs from ionic bond?
a covalent bond shares electrons while an ionic bond loses electrons. get it got it good!
