The molecular structure of the solids has lower ability to conduct electricity due to tight holding by nucleus.
<h3>Why molecular solids are poor conductors?</h3>
Molecular solids are also poor conductors of electricity because their valence electrons are tightly held by the nuclear charges present in the nucleus while on the other hand, Metals are good electrical conductors in the solid form due to the presence of free electrons that helps in the conduction of electricity.

<span>This is not the case in the hydrocarbon tail. The electronegativity of hydrogen and carbon are very similar, so the electron cloud is distributed evenly over the two atoms. Carbon-hydrogen bonds are said to be non-polar because they do not have positive and negative poles within themselves. Hope this helps. </span>
setup 1 : to the right
setup 2 : equilibrium
setup 3 : to the left
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
The reaction quotient (Q) : determine a reaction has reached equilibrium
For reaction :
aA+bB⇔cC+dD
![\tt Q=\dfrac{C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20Q%3D%5Cdfrac%7BC%5D%5Ec%5BD%5D%5Ed%7D%7B%5BA%5D%5Ea%5BB%5D%5Eb%7D)
Comparing Q with K( the equilibrium constant) :
K is the product of ions in an equilibrium saturated state
Q is the product of the ion ions from the reacting substance
Q <K = solution has not occurred precipitation, the ratio of the products to reactants is less than the ratio at equilibrium. The reaction moved to the right (products)
Q = Ksp = saturated solution, exactly the precipitate will occur, the system at equilibrium
Q> K = sediment solution, the ratio of the products to reactants is greater than the ratio at equilibrium. The reaction moved to the left (reactants)
Keq = 6.16 x 10⁻³
Q for reaction N₂O₄(0) ⇒ 2NO₂(g)
![\tt Q=\dfrac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20Q%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5BNO_2%5D%5E2%7D%7B%5BN_2O_4%5D%7D)
Setup 1 :

Q<K⇒The reaction moved to the right (products)
Setup 2 :

Q=K⇒the system at equilibrium
Setup 3 :

Q>K⇒The reaction moved to the left (reactants)
