why carbon compounds do not conduct electricity?
Asked by HARSHIT GARG | 20th Oct, 2013, 10:59: AM
Expert Answer:
- Most of the carbon compounds do not conduct electricity because they have low melting and boiling points.
- Nature of bonding in carbon compounds is different from that observed in ionic compounds thus they are poor conductors of electricity.
- Bonding in carbon compounds does not involve the formation of ions which indicates the absence of ions in carbon compounds.
- So we can say that in carbon compounds, the bonding between carbon and other atoms is non-ionic in nature.
