Step-by-step explanation:

Most of the carbon compound are convalent in nature and all of the electrons participates in bond formation as such there is no free electrons left to conduct electricity. Moreover carbon compound doesn't readily dissociates to form ions, which conduct electricity. Hence carbon compound are poor conductor of electricity.
