Iodine is covalent so it does not conduct electricity in a solid, however it will conduct in a liquid or molten state. The reason why it cannot conduct in a solid is that electrons cannot move freely through it.

Why doesn't sodium oxide conduct electricity?
covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity
Does methanol conduct electricity?
No, methanol does not conduct electricity. It does not conduct electricity because it is a non-electrolyte molecule. Sugar also is non-electrolyte, therefore it also does not conduct electricity.
What is indium ability to conduct electricity?
indium can conduct electricity. all metals can.
Does Caesium Chloride Conduct Electricity?
Cesium Chloride can only conduct electricity in water or while molten. Once cesium chloride is in a solid state it will not conduct electricity.
Does calcium bromide conduct electricity?
Calcium bromide is an ionic solid, in the solid state it does not conduct electricity. Solutions do conduct, as does the melt.

Why do gold and copper conduct electricity better than carbon and iodine?
because they are metals
Why does solid iodine not stick to fingerprints?
iodine is a covalent compound and no ionic properties. there are no free electrons on it. so it can not conduct electricity.
