Do polar molecules have ionic bonds?
Polar molecules typically do not conduct electricity as well as ionic molecules. This is because charges in polar molecules due to unequal sharing of electrons are not as strong as the charges on ions
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 do non polar covalent bonds not conduct?
Because there is no charge separation (or free ions) to conduct charge.
Why do covalent bonds in a liquid state conduct electricity?
liquid is a conductor. Liquid (e.g. water) is polar therefore have one side positively charged and one negatively charged :)
Does hydrogen fluoride have polar covalent bonds?
Yes...hydrogen fluoride (HF) has polar covalent bonds

Why melted wax don't conduct electricity?
Wax is non-polar covalent because it is balanced in charge and it does not conduct electricity.
Why do non polar covalent bonds not conduct?
Because there is no charge separation (or free ions) to conduct charge.
Why H20is non polar covalent bond?
H2O has polar covalent bonds, not non-polar covalent bonds.
Why is it that organic compound does not 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.
Why do covalent bonds in a liquid state conduct electricity?
liquid is a conductor. Liquid (e.g. water) is polar therefore have one side positively charged and one negatively charged :)
What are the different types of chemical bonds?
Ionic bonds, Covalent bonds, Hydrogen bonds, Polar Covalent bonds, Non-Polar Covalent bonds, and Metallic bonds.
What is the different between polar covalent and non polar covalent?
polar bonds are non metals bonded to non metals and non polar covalent bonds are bonds sharing electrons.....
Does hydrogen fluoride have polar covalent bonds?
Yes...hydrogen fluoride (HF) has polar covalent bonds
Do Gels conduct electricity?
For something to conduct electricity it needs a free flow of electrons, since glycerin does not it does not conduct electricity.
Which substance has polar covalent bonds SO2 Cl2 N2 or CaO?
Molecular substances can have both polar and nonpolar covalent bonds.
