do not break up into ions.
Most molecular substances do not conduct electricity since the ions don't dissociate very well with molecular substances. However, most ionic substances do conduct electricity very well due to their ability to dissociate very well in water.
Because the ground dosen't conduct electricity.
Metals conduct electricity easily because the electrons in a metal crystal can move freely among the atoms.They are know as free electrons.
Yes, Pyrite can conduct electricity.
Yes it does. pure H2O will not conduct electricity, however most water has some impurities in it, and will then conduct quite nicely.
Ionic compounds can conduct electricity because the ions in the solid state can move and carry electric charge. In contrast, molecular compounds usually do not conduct electricity because they do not dissociate into ions in solution or in the solid state, resulting in no free charge carriers to conduct electricity.
do not break up into ions.
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.
They do not conduct electricity because they do not dissociate into ions in water to carry an electric charge. Ionic compounds, on the other hand, dissociate into ions in water and can conduct electricity.
Molecular compounds generally do not conduct electricity and have low melting points.
There are no ions present
That's correct. Molecular compounds do not dissociate into ions in solution, so they do not conduct electricity as there are no free charged particles to carry the current.
True. Molecular compounds that dissolve in water do not conduct electricity because they do not dissociate into charged ions when dissolved. Since they do not produce free ions that can carry an electric current, they are unable to conduct electricity in aqueous solutions.
Most molecular compounds have a low melting point. They also typically don't conduct electricity.

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are dissolved in water or melted, allowing the ions to move and carry electric charge. Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are fixed in place and unable to move to carry charge.
Molecular compounds are charge neutral. Molecular compounds dissolve in water as individual molecules. For example if 1.0g of C12H22011 (sucrose or table sugar) dissolves in water the solid will become many individual C12H22011 molecules floating in water but will remain charge neutral. Therefore, this solution does not conduct electricity. This is known as a nonelectrolyte solution. On the other hand, when ionic compounds, like NaCl (table salt), are dissolved in solution they break up into individual ions. In this case Na+ and Cl-. These ions with their respective charges make the solution electrically conductive. This is called an electrolyte solution.
