It is what is called a covalent compound. It doesn't contain any ions, which are needed for the flow of electricity throw a liquid or a solution. I don't know how much backround knowledge you have about this, so if there is anything you dont understand, then either email me, or check the following terms on wikipedia:

covalent compound
ionic compound
ions

Hope this is of some help.

This is the "Pregnancy and Parenting" section. Go ask in homework or science.
