Which one of the following is a bad conductor of electricity?

The correct option is B

Covalent compound

Correct answer is b) Covalent compound

Explanation of correct answer

• Covalent compounds are formed by the mutual sharing of electrons between the atoms.
• Covalent bond does not contain any ions.
• Hence they are bad conductor of electricity.

Explanation of incorrect answer

A) Ionic compound

• Ionic bond is formed by strong force of attraction between oppositely charged ion.
• In ionic bond there is ions, which conduct electricity

C) Coordinate compound

• It is type of covalent bond formed by sharing of electron pairs, but both electron pair is shared by one atom
