Question

Statement: Covalent solids are good conductor of electricity.

State whether the given statement is true or false

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Covalent compound:

Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons.they don't have a free electron that is required for electricity transfer (electricity is the flow of free electrons!) thus they are bad conductors but ionic compounds are a good conductor because of the presence of free electrons.

Hence, the given statement is false.
