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.

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. :)
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.
Why do carbons not conduct electricity?
Graphite and diamond are good electricity conductors.
Does a banana conduct electricity?
Yes, a banana can conduct electricity. The high water content and minerals in a banana make it a good conductor of electricity. However, it is not as efficient a conductor as metals like copper.
What can aluminum conduct?
Aluminium is a good conductor of electricity and heat.
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?
because insulators don't conduct any electricity but conductors do conduct electricity
Is glass a good electrical conductor?

Can glass nuggets conduct electricity?
Glass is not a good conductor of electricity.
Why do carbons not conduct electricity?
Graphite and diamond are good electricity conductors.
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.
Does a banana conduct electricity?
Yes, a banana can conduct electricity. The high water content and minerals in a banana make it a good conductor of electricity. However, it is not as efficient a conductor as metals like copper.
What are the two things metal can conduct?
All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.
Does an iron nail conduct electricity?
Yes they do, they have approximately .3 volts of conductivity.
Is bromine a good conductor of heat and electricity?
Bromine is a gas at liquid temperature. It can only conduct electricity when bonded with another metal or element.
