c. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity in the aqueous or molten
state.

Reason- The absence of charged particles in covalent compounds is
responsible for the non-conductivity of electricity

• Polar Covalent Compounds-

Polar covalent bond is a chemical bond in which the electrons required to form
a bond is unequally shared between two atoms.

The atom which is more electronegative attracts more electrons from the bonded
pair than the other atom.
