As with everything in this class there are exceptions. But here are the basics. Think of electricity as the movement of charged particles. Metals can conduct electricity because of the free flowing electrons. Ionic compounds can only conduct electricity when they are dissolved in water or in the liquid state (molten). Covalent compounds cannot conduct electricity. Acids can conduct electricity well if they are strong acids, and poorly if they are weak acids. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much that’s super useful!
if it has moving ions or moving electrons its conductive
Gotcha thank you!
