Do only polar covalent compounds e g HCl become good conductor of
electricity when dissolved in water or is it true for non polar
covalent compounds also? PLEASE DON'T DELETE

Dear student,

We know that like dissolves like, so a polar compound will get
dissolved in a polar solvent (i e , water) and can conduct
electricity because of the conduction of ions but in the case of
nonpolar compounds they will not get dissolved in water and will
not conduct electricity because there will be no generation of
charge
