    Electricity is conducted by free electrons or ions, such as delocalised electrons in metallic compounds or free moving cations and anions in aqueous solutions of ionic compounds.

    atoms held together by covalent bonds do not contain free moving electrons or ions, so they do not conduct electricity in any state.
