(a) Covalent compounds are formed by sharing electrons so they do not produce ions in solution or on melting. Hence, they are poor conductors of electricity.
(b) The name of the above given compound is Acetone (Propanone). It is the simplest Ketone. It is a colourless, highly volatile, and flammable liquid with a characteristic odour.
(c) Ethanoic acid reacts with sodium carbonate to produce carbon dioxide gas. To prove the presence of this gas, allow it to pass through lime water. Carbon dioxide turns lime water milky.
