In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as liquid or solid?
covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in any state.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as solids?
Generally not.
Can covalent compounds conduct electricity as a liquid?
A compound with only covalent bonds will not conduct electricity as a liquid. However, some salts with covalently bonded ions, such as tetra-methyl ammonium chloride, will conduct electricity when melted.
What type of compound ionic or covalent will conduct electricity and dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds generally dissolve in water dissociating to give ions that are free to move and conduct electricity. Molten ionic compounds also have free ions and conduct electricity. Ionic compounds generally do not conduct electricity in the solid form.

Why doesn't sodium oxide conduct electricity?
covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as aqueous solutions?
covalent compounds can carry a charge when dissolved in water because ions separate and can carry a charge.
Out of ionic pure covalent metallic and polar covalent which is most likely to conduct electricity?
All types of covalent compounds are not very good conductors of electricity. However, ionic compounds in their molten state and metallic substances are very good conductors of electricity.
How can polar covalent compounds conduct electricity in their aqueous forms in spite of being covalently bonded?
They can't. There must be an electrolyte mixed in. For example distilled water doesn't conduct electricity and it is a polar covalent compound. However, when you mix in salt, it does conduct electricity.
Why don't covalent molecular compounds conduct electricity?
Covalent substances do not conduct electricity because they are sharing electrons, hence they are in a fixed position and are not able to move around and contribute to movement of the electric current.
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.
Does covalent substances conduct electricity when molten?
No because covalent bonds do not contain ions. (as you know electricity its a flow of charges/ions.) Therefore covlalent bonds, no matter in what state, cannot conduct electricity No because covalent bonds do not contain ions. (as you know electricity its a flow of charges/ions.)
