There are no free charged particles to carry charge (apart from graphite, in which carbon atoms have non-bonding electrons which can carry charge).
Metallic substances have free electrons and in ionic compounds the ions themselves are charged and can carry charge if they can move, hence ionic compounds can conduct when molten or in solution.

What is the difference between electrolytes and nonelectrolytes?
electrolytes react with water to form ions in solution, and nonelectrolytes have molecules.Electrolytes are ionic compounds and some covalent compounds like strong acids. Non electrolytes do not ionize in water. Only covalent compounds like CH4 and C6H6 can be nonelectrolytes-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------♥Compounds whose solutions in water or whose molten states are capable of conducting electricity are called electrolytes. They are either acids, bases, or salts. Solutions of these compounds contain ions. Electrolytes which in solution are completely or almost completely in the form of ions are called strong electrolytes. They are very good conductors. Those whose solutions contain mostly covalent molecules are poor conductors of electricity and are called weak electrolytes. Non electrolytes are compounds whose solutions DO NOT conduct electricity. ^^;
What are the uses for covalent compounds?
Covalent compounds are used in a wide range of applications including pharmaceuticals, plastics, electronics, and agrochemicals due to their stability and diverse properties. They are also used in everyday products like detergents, fuels, and solvents. Additionally, covalent compounds are essential in biochemical processes within living organisms.
How do you determine if a compound is electrolyte or nonelectrolyte?
Electrolytes: acids, bases, and salts (ionic compounds) Nonelectrolytes: usually covalent compounds with the exception of acids. Ionic compounds : One of the ions has a positive charge (called a "cation") and the other has a negative charge ("anion") *Electrolytes can be strong or weak
Does CCL4 contain covalent and ionic compounds?
CCL4, carbon tetrachloride, contains covalent bonds between the carbon and chlorine atoms. It is a molecular compound with no ions, so it does not contain ionic compounds.
What are the covalent compounds?
Covalent compounds share electronsCovalent compounds are neutralB.The compounds share electrons.C.The compounds show no charge.D.The compounds are named with Greek prefixes.

Covalent calcium compounds?
Calcium cannot form a covalent compound because it is a metal, covalent compounds are formed only from non-metals.
In what phase are covalent compounds?
Covalent compounds can be solids, liquids or gases.

How can you use covalent compounds in a sentence?
Covalent compounds have shared electrons between atoms.
Is gold found in a covalent compound?
no, covalent compounds can only include non-metal elements and gold (Au) is a metal element
Does CCL4 contain covalent and ionic compounds?
CCL4, carbon tetrachloride, contains covalent bonds between the carbon and chlorine atoms. It is a molecular compound with no ions, so it does not contain ionic compounds.
What are the covalent compounds?
Covalent compounds share electronsCovalent compounds are neutralB.The compounds share electrons.C.The compounds show no charge.D.The compounds are named with Greek prefixes.
Are you made of ionic or covalent compounds?
I am an artificial intelligence program running on a computer, so I am not made of either ionic or covalent compounds.
What is the boiling temperature for covalent compounds?
All different covalent compounds have different boiling points.
What are some differences between ionic and covalent compounds?
Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared, and ionic bonds are formed by electrostatic forces between bonds. Ionic bonds are generally weaker than covalent bonds, since most ions dissociate in water, but covalent compounds do not break into their elements unless with large amounts of energy added.
