do not break up into ions.

∙ 13y agoMolecular Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity because the electrons are very localised, making electricity near impossible to travel from one to the other. The reason metals are so conductive is because of their large amounts of de-localised electrons.

What evidence is there ionic compounds exists as ions in their pure state while molecular compounds exist as molecules in their pure state?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity while molecular compounds do not
Are covalent molecular compounds conductive?
No. You must have ions present or electrons so that they can carry the charge (conduct electricity).
In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
Does ionic compounds conduct in 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.
Why don't covalent molecular compounds 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.
Molecular compounds do not conduct electricity because they?
do not break up into ions.
What are the properties of molecular compound?
Molecular compounds generally do not conduct electricity and have low melting points.
Why don't molecular compounds dissolved in water conduct electricity?
There are no ions present
Which is a property shares by most molecular compounds?
Most molecular compounds have a low melting point. They also typically don't conduct electricity.

Ionic compounds conduct electricity while molecular compounds do not
Which is a property shared by most molecular?
Most molecular compounds have a low melting point. They also typically don't conduct electricity.
Molecular compounds that dissolve in water do not conduct electricity because no?
No mobile charged particles are present in sufficient concentration.
Are covalent molecular compounds conductive?
No. You must have ions present or electrons so that they can carry the charge (conduct electricity).
In Which state do ionic compounds and covalent compounds conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state (melted) or when dissolved in a solution. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity. Period.
How do agueous solutions of ionic and molecular compounds difer?
Aqueous [note spelling] solutions of ionic compounds conduct electricity, but aqueous solutions of molecular compounds do not, unless the molecular compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved. Sugar, acetone, ethanol, and methanol, for example, do not dissociate, but acetic acid does.
