An insulator is the general term for things that do not conduct electricity. Rubber is a good example. Glass, paper and Teflon are also other good examples of insulators. It is too broad to point out a specific type. I would have been inclined to say a polymer, (i.e. plastics) but conducting polymers have very popular use as conductors.

Which Substance When Dissolved in Water will Conduct an Electrical Current?
These are the ionic substances.
What Are substances which when dissolved in water will conduct an electrical current?
These substances are ionic compounds forming electrolytes by dissociation in water.
Can ionic compounds conduct electric current when melted?
Yes, ionic compounds can only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.
Why do ionics compounds dissolved in water conduct an electric current?
When an ionic compound dissolves in water there are free ions which move and carry electric current.
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the solid phase liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid plase?
In solid state the ions are packed very tightly, so ions are not free to move, therefore no conduction.
What is dissolved in water will conduct an electric current?
an electrolyte
Which Substance When Dissolved in Water will Conduct an Electrical Current?
These are the ionic substances.
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
because of the gravity or Magnetricity
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
because when the ions can move around freely, they can conduct electricity better
When a metal reacts with a nonmetal are the substances good conductors of electric current?
The product of a metal reacting with a nonmetal is a salt; in solid form these do not conduct electricity well, but dissolved in water they do.
What Are substances which when dissolved in water will conduct an electrical current?
These substances are ionic compounds forming electrolytes by dissociation in water.
Can ionic compounds conduct electric current when melted?
Yes, ionic compounds can only conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.
Why do ionics compounds dissolved in water conduct an electric current?
When an ionic compound dissolves in water there are free ions which move and carry electric current.
How are acids that have been dissolved in water able to conduct an electric current?
i don't know ( In the book )
Do substances which dissolve in water conduct an electric current?
Some do. Electrolytes, which are substances that break into ions when dissolved in water, will conduct electricity. Such substances include soluble salts, acids, and bases.Other water soluble substances are non electrolytes and do not break into ions in water, or at least do so in extremely minute amounts. They do not conduct electricity. These include alcohols, sugars, and some other polar compounds.
Substances that conduct an electric current under certain conditions are most likely to be?
metalloids
Will sugar dissolved in water conduct electric currant?
Yes, it will conduct electric current much better than plain water. The sugar molecules in water form a clear solution by ionization facilitating the path of electrons of electric current.
