What else can I help you with?
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.
Does benzoic acid conduct electricity?
No, benzoic acid does not conduct electricity because it is a covalent compound that does not dissociate into ions in solution.
Does SCl2 conduct electricity?
no because its a covalent compound, it undergoes covalent bonding. if it was a metallic or ionic then it would conduct when molten or in aqueous state. the only element that undergoes a covalent bonding and conducts electricity is graphite, no other element or allotrope conducts.
Can hydrogen chloride gas conduct electricity?
No, hydrogen chloride gas is a covalent compound and does not conduct electricity because it does not dissociate into ions that can carry charge.
Why does CCl4 does not conduct electricity?
CCl4 does not conduct electricity because it is a nonpolar covalent compound. In a nonpolar covalent bond, electrons are shared equally between atoms, resulting in a lack of charged particles (ions) that can conduct electricity. Additionally, CCl4 does not ionize in water to produce free ions necessary for conducting electrical current.

Does PCl conduct electricity?
No, PCl (phosphorus trichloride) does not conduct electricity as it is a covalent compound and does not dissociate into ions in solution.
Will HC1 conduct electricity?
No, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a covalent compound and does not conduct electricity unless it is dissociated into ions.
An unknown compound dissolves in water but the solution does not conduct electricity?
If a compound dissolves into water and allows for the conductance of electrical current its said to be ionic and an electrolyte. Sodium chloride (NaCl) or table salt exhibits this property. Sugar is a compound that will dissolve in water but not conduct current. Sugar is not an electrolyte or ionic; rather a covalent molecule.
Does benzoic acid conduct electricity?
No, benzoic acid does not conduct electricity because it is a covalent compound that does not dissociate into ions in solution.
Does covalent substances conduct electricity in benzene?
Benzene is nonpolar and thus will only dissolve nonpolar substances. Covalent substances is vague, but even if benzene were to dissolve nonpolar solutes, they would not conduct electricity because the current has no ions or delocalized electrons to travel across.
Does SCl2 conduct electricity?
no because its a covalent compound, it undergoes covalent bonding. if it was a metallic or ionic then it would conduct when molten or in aqueous state. the only element that undergoes a covalent bonding and conducts electricity is graphite, no other element or allotrope conducts.
Can hydrogen chloride gas conduct electricity?
No, hydrogen chloride gas is a covalent compound and does not conduct electricity because it does not dissociate into ions that can carry charge.
What is the conductivity of an organic compound in water?
If it is a completely covalent compound, such as sugar, none; if it is ionic, such as acetic acid, it can conduct electricity.
Why does CCl4 does not conduct electricity?
CCl4 does not conduct electricity because it is a nonpolar covalent compound. In a nonpolar covalent bond, electrons are shared equally between atoms, resulting in a lack of charged particles (ions) that can conduct electricity. Additionally, CCl4 does not ionize in water to produce free ions necessary for conducting electrical current.
Does phosphorus pentachloride conduct electricity?
NO. because it is salt bye... DICKI 98... aged 11
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.
