Covalent solutes are considered non-electrolytes. What does this mean for the conductivity of the solution?

Answer:

There is no conductivity because covalent solutes will not disassociate into ions when placed into a solution. Without ions, you can not conduct electricity. Hence the term "non-electrolyte"
