Is a covalent bond a good conductor?

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.


Why do conductors conduct electricity answer in simple words?

because they have many free electrons that can carry the electrical current


what does metallic consist of?

Metals have large number of free electrons, which are responsible for conduction of heat, electric current, etc. Hence metals are good conductors. Non-metal don't have such free electrons in them. Hence they are bad conductors. There are many such properties which differentiate metals from non-metals. for example, metals have a typical metallic luster ( except few), etc.


If something is reactive is it a good conductor?

No, not always; There are many bad conductors which are reactive too.


Why are metals conductors of heat?

Because of their many valence electrons. The free-moving electrons transmit heat quickly.
