Dear rajmohit1999@gmail.com

Thanks for asking us a question in Ask the Expert section of TopperLearning.com.
 
In case of multiple questions within a query, please post each question individually and let us know where you are getting stuck so that we would be able to explain things better.
 
Solution for your first query,
 
Conditions for conducting electrcity are delocalised or free electrons, that can move throughout the structure and carry charge. In covalent compounds, there are no free electrons (as electrons are shared; there are no ions, hence no free electrons), so covalent compounds do not conduct electricity.
