Best Answer

If a material is to conduct electricity, it must have charges, and they must be free to move. Metals fit these criteria because they have charged electrons and they are in delocalised orbitals which means that they can move in an electric field. Graphite has a similar delocalised bond. Ionic compounds contain charged ions which are free to move when the compound is melted or dissolved in water.
