they have a 'sea' of delocalised electrons in their structure which are free to move and carry a charge through the structure
All types of covalent compounds are not very good conductors of electricity. However, ionic compounds in their molten state and metallic substances are very good conductors of electricity.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Ionic bonds are electrostatic bonds between ions. Most of this type of compounds are made out of a metallic element and a non metallic element. The solutions of ionic compounds conduct electricity.
Ionic compounds will not conduct electricity as solids, which is what they are at room temperature. However, they will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in any state.
Anything metallic can conduct electricity. Also molten ionic compounds and solutions of ionic compounds. Aqueous acids also conduct electricity.

Electricity.
Ionic compounds will not conduct electricity as solids, which is what they are at room temperature. However, they will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
no <<>> Any metallic material will conduct static electricity.
Many inorganic compounds conduct electricity.
covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in any state.
That's right, solutions of ionic compounds do conduct electricity well.
Carbon (graphite) will conduct electricitySilicon metallic will conduct electricity
No. Covalent substances do not conduct electricity in solid or liquid state.
