What solid depends on electron sharing to hold it together and does not conduct electricity?
This would seem to be looking for the answer covalent substances. However, there are two types of covalent substance: molecular (e.g. sulfur) and giant covalent (e.g. diamond). Electron sharing certainly holds giant covalent lattices together, but in a molecular substance the electron sharing is only within the molecule, and the forces which hold the molecules together to make a solid are rather weaker. They may be van der Waals forces, dipole-dipole attractions, or hydrogen bonds.
What else can I help you with?
Do all magnetic materials conduct electricity?
Diamagnetic substance contains no unpaired electron therefore charge cannot be transferred through moving free electron--there is no free electron. It is however theoretically possible to force the substance to conduct electricity, by setting potential difference extremely high so that bonded electrons are forced to detach from the atoms. At this point, the substance is no longer diamagnetic.
What some things that conduct electricity?
Metals like copper, aluminum, and gold are good conductors of electricity. Other materials like graphite, seawater, and certain types of acids can also conduct electricity. Conductivity depends on the ability of materials to allow the flow of electric current.
What elements are not malleable and do not conduct electricity?
Insulators. Their valence electrons are tightly bound because the valence shell is close to full or full. Since each shell can only only hold a certain amount of electrons, the number of electrons depends on which shell is the outer or valence shell.
Is candle wax a good conductor of electricity?
Wax itself does not condcut electricity, however the oil's of the wax does conduct electricity. The liquid from the wax will conduct electricity due to Ion conductivity in fluids.
Does lemon juice conduct electricity better in water than vinegar?
No, lemon juice does not conduct electricity better than vinegar in water. Both lemon juice and vinegar contain weak acids that dissociate ions in water, allowing them to conduct electricity to a similar extent. The conductivity depends more on the concentration of ions present in the solution rather than the specific acid used.
What does liquid do to electricity?
Liquid can conduct electricity if it contains dissolved ions that allow for the flow of electric charge. However, pure water is a poor conductor of electricity because it does not contain enough ions to allow for effective electron flow. Overall, the impact of liquid on electricity depends on its chemical composition and conductivity.

Can diet drinks conduct electricity?
Depends on the drink.
Does a key conduct electricity?
depends if the metal it's made of can
Is bakelite insulator or conductor?
It depends, if the Bakelite is dry, it won't conduct electricity, however if it is wet and a high enough voltage is applied to it, it might conduct electricity.
How much electricity can metal conduct?
It depends on the type of metal. The ability of a metal to conduct electricity is one trait that identifies a metal. For example, copper can conduct electricity very well (better than most metals).
Can food conduct electricity?
It depends on the type of food. Some do, some don't.
Is a foam pillow a conductor or an insulator?
This depends on the type of foam. There have been made foam that actually conduct electricity. This is a choice made in the manufacturing of the foam. Most foam in mattresses and the like does not conduct electricity. Moisture however can change the mattresses conductivity drastically.
Is a ring and insulator or conductor?
It depends on the material the ring is made of. If the ring is made of a conducting material such as metal, it will conduct electricity. If the ring is made of an insulating material such as plastic or glass, it will not conduct electricity.
What some things that conduct electricity?
Metals like copper, aluminum, and gold are good conductors of electricity. Other materials like graphite, seawater, and certain types of acids can also conduct electricity. Conductivity depends on the ability of materials to allow the flow of electric current.
Do liquid conduct electricity?
It depends on which liquid it is. Some do and some don't.
Do kids conduct electricity better than adults?
No, kids do not conduct electricity better than adults. The ability to conduct electricity depends on the properties of the materials involved, such as water content or metal content, rather than age. Both kids and adults can conduct electricity depending on the circumstances.
