Question

Why non polar molecules like H2 or Cl2 cannot conduct electricity
Answered by GPT 3.5
Nonpolar molecules like H2 and Cl2 do not conduct electricity because they do not have charged particles (ions) that can move and carry an electric current. In order for a substance to conduct electricity, it must contain charged particles that are free to move and carry an electric charge, such as ions in an ionic compound or delocalized electrons in a metal. Since nonpolar molecules do not have these charged particles, they are unable to conduct electricity.
