No: A purely covalently bonded compound does not conduct electricity even when molten, because a molecule of such a compound can not spontaneously separate into entities of opposite electrical charge. Such entities are required for electrical conductance through any pure chemical substance except a metal.

Does quartz produces electricity?
No, quartz is an insulator. * actually i disagree, quartz CAN conduct electricity, that is y they use them in radars, radios, and tv's. :)
Is glass a good electrical conductor?
Glass is an electrical insulator. It does not conduct electricity. Many insulators made for power transmission lines or in the older days telephone or telegraph insulators, are made out of glass due to their superior insulating qualities.
Why do carbons not conduct electricity?
Graphite and diamond are good electricity conductors.
Are vegetables good conductors of electricity?
It depends what you mean by "good" they are not necessarily "good" conductors of electricity but yes they will conduct electricity. Most things conduct electricity at some level, they may have high resistance but they will still conduct electricity.
What can aluminum conduct?
Aluminium is a good conductor of electricity and heat.

Why aren't insulators good conductors of electricity?
because insulators don't conduct any electricity but conductors do conduct electricity
Are copper sulphate crystals good conductors of electricity?
no

Can glass nuggets conduct electricity?
Glass is not a good conductor of electricity.
Why do carbons not conduct electricity?
Graphite and diamond are good electricity conductors.
Why does sulfur not conduct electricity?
A dilute solution of sulfuric acid (<50%) is a very good conductor. This is because it produces ions in the water that carry the electricity. Concentrated solutions of solutions of sulfuric acid do not conduct electricity well. Sulfuric acid has a hard time making ions with itself (it does not make H3SO4+). Since there is very little water in 99% sulfuric acid, it does not have a lot of ions to conduct electricity. Basically, sulfuric acid does not conduct electricity well because it is molecular, not ionic.
Is honey good conductor of electricity?
To conduct electricity, a medium with freely-moving ions are required. Honey in its existing form cannot conduct electricity. However, if it is diluted with water, depending on the ions from the minerals contained in the water, it may or may not be able to conduct electricity.
What are the uses of good conductors of electricity?
to conduct the current
What are the two things metal can conduct?
All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.
Does an iron nail conduct electricity?
Yes they do, they have approximately .3 volts of conductivity.
