Because covalent bonds are between elements without metallic properties, and in order for a bond to conduct electricity, the bond has to include two metals, AKA a metallic bond.

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
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.)

What types of bonds do nonconductors have?
Most nonconductors have covalent bonds. One thing that complicates matters is that some materials with purely covalent bonds do conduct electricity at least to some degree.
Why do non polar covalent bonds not conduct?
Because there is no charge separation (or free ions) to conduct charge.
Can tetrachloromethane conduct electricity?
No because it forms covalent bonds and electrons are not free to move in covalent bonds. Therefore, electricity (the flow of electrons) cannot happen. - Ch
Can lutetium conduct elctricity?
It is considered a transition metal, and metals conduct electricity.
Can lemon have elctricity?
Lemon juice can conduct electricity.
DOES Fullerene conduct heat?
Yes, each carbon forms 3 covalent bonds leaving free electrons that can conduct electricity!
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.
Do materials with ionic bonds conduct electricity in a solid and liquid state?
Materials with ionic bonds normally conduct electricity only in a liquid state. However metals, which have what are sometimes called "delocalized" ionic bonds, also conduct electricity in the solid state. It is now customary to consider metallic bonds a separate class from both ionic and covalent bonds.
What are the different types of chemical bonds?
Ionic bonds, Covalent bonds, Hydrogen bonds, Polar Covalent bonds, Non-Polar Covalent bonds, and Metallic bonds.
The formation of covalent bonds?
