Non-metals (e.g. sulphur) are usually good insulators, with the exception of carbon in the form of graphite. On the other hand, metals are good conductors of electricity in all states of matter.

∙ 15y agohi I think the best insulator is Sulfur, since it is a non-metal and a good conductor.

Are there loosely bound electrons in insulators?
In electrical insulators electrons are not able to move freely.
Which of the following crystals would be the best at insulating heat Fe Cu C or Na?
Non-metals such as carbon are insulators of heat.
Which metal acts as an insulator?
Metals are conductors, not insulators. Both electrical and thermal conductors.
Is rope conductive?
no
What material can stop electricity?
insulators
Where do elements that are good insulators appear on the periodic table?
Generally elements with modest electrical conductivity are at the right of the Periodic Table of Mendeleev: groups 14-18. But they cannot be considered as insulators.
What are of the best insulators of cold?
Styrofoam
What does an electrical insulator have?
Electrical insulators are made from materials that are poor conductors of electricity. Metallic elements are good conductors, non metallic elements are poor conductors. Some materials used as insulators are, paper, glass, ceramics, rubber and plastics.
Which materials make the best insulators?
minecraft
What are three natural occurring elements that are considered to be good insulators?
-- silicon -- germanium -- nitrogen -- oxygen
On which side does the isulators found in periodic table?
Elements that are insulators are on the right side of the periodic table.
Is plastic the best known conductor?
generally they are insulators
Is quartz conductive?
No, quartz is one of the best insulators there is.
What are good insulators?
Good insulators include glass, styrofoam, plastic, wood, rubber, cloth, air, glass, and etc. It really depends on what you want to use it for. For example, fiberglass or styrofoam works the best as heat insulators. And rubber or glass as electric insulators.
What are the best examples of insulators of electricity?
Plastic, rubber, glass, air...
What substances are the best insulators?
Usually nonmetals. Rubber, plastic, wood, cloth, paper, Styrofoam, tinfoil (to reflect the heat.)The most common insulator for electricity is plastic.
What do you call poor conductors?
Insulators.
