Because in a covalent bond, the electrons are shared within the molecule. There is no lone electron that makes the molecule to be charges. Remember that to conduct electricity, ions should be used because they have charges. Charges are brought about by incomplete or have additional electrons. But with a covalent bond, the electrons are already happy in the molecule that no one is left out to look for another one to attract to.

Do hydrocarbons have a charge?
The internal bonds of hydrocarbon molecules are always covalent, never ionic.
Is nitrogen trifluoride a covalent bond?
Covalent because it has Tri as a prefix and it shares electrons.
What is the formal charge of c3h8?
its propane, a covalent compound, and the charge is 0!!
What types of bonds do water form?
Water molecules form covalent bonds, because they are non-metal compounds. If you mean the bonds within the water molecules themselves, they are Hydrogen bonds.
Is starch C6H10O5 ionic or covalent?
starch is a polymer of alpha-glucose. (Alpha-1-4 linkage)
Do hydrocarbons have a charge?
The internal bonds of hydrocarbon molecules are always covalent, never ionic.
How do polar molecules differ from non-polar molecules?
Polar molecules have positive charge on one side and negative charge on other side. Non polar molecules have covalent bond and do not have positive and negative charge on one or other side of the molecule.
Are molecules covalent or ionic?
Molecules are covalent.
What is stronger the covalent bonds that holds atoms together within a molecule or the electrical attraction between two neighboring molecules?
Covalent bonds will always be stronger then an dipole or charge attraction between molecules.
What makes some covalent molecules polar?
Because of the unequal sharing of electrons. As in H2O, Hydrogen has a positive charge and Oxygen has a negative charge.
Is atmosphere ionic or covalent molecules?
Covalent molecules with small amounts of argon which is monatomic. All molecules are covalent. Ionic compounds form crystals, not molecules.
What type of bonding holds molecules together?
Hydrogen is linked by a covalent bond to an atom of oxygen. The covalent bonds are polar, as the oxygen atoms have a slight negative charge.
What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules ionic molecules nonpolar covalent molecules?
ionic molecules
What are molecules and covalent bonds?
Molecules with covalent bonds are generally formed by nonmetals.
What nature of elements producing covalent molecules?
Nonmetals produce covalent molecules.
Which particles in an atom are involved in a covalent bond?
Particles formed from the covalent bonding of atoms are called molecules.
Are organic molecules ionic or covalent?
Most are Covalent
