No: A purely covalently bonded compound does not conduct electricity even when molten, because a molecule of such a compound can not spontaneously separate into entities of opposite electrical charge. Such entities are required for electrical conductance through any pure chemical substance except a metal.

Are copper sulphate crystals good conductors of electricity?

Yes, copper sulfate crystals can conduct electricity when dissolved in water because the ions present in the solution are free to carry the electric current. However, solid copper sulfate crystals do not conduct electricity as well because the ions are not free to move.


Does quartz produces electricity?

No, quartz is an insulator. * actually i disagree, quartz CAN conduct electricity, that is y they use them in radars, radios, and tv's. :)


Are ionic crystals good conductors?

No, ionic crystals are typically poor conductors of electricity because the ions are locked in a rigid lattice structure and cannot move freely to carry electric charge. However, when ionic crystals are dissolved in water or melted, their ions can move more freely and conduct electricity.


Why aren't insulators good conductors of electricity?

Is glass a good electrical conductor?

Glass is an electrical insulator. It does not conduct electricity. Many insulators made for power transmission lines or in the older days telephone or telegraph insulators, are made out of glass due to their superior insulating qualities.


Is salt a good insulator?

No, salt is not a good insulator. It is a good conductor of electricity and can conduct heat fairly well. Insulators, on the other hand, are materials that do not conduct electricity or heat easily.
