No. That's why it's an insulator.

What objects act like a conductor and insulator?
The substances which have free electrons(which move freely ) act as conductor while those whose electrons held tightly (which can not move freely) are insulator.
What is a material through which electrons do not easily flow?
insulator
A material that prevents electrons from flowing freely is called what?
an insulator
Why does an insulator not lose its charge?
the dust particles keep the electrons inside and remake them they dust particles can be swept off but a few remain inside the insulator!!! this is very confusing!!! :) Static electricity can't move in an insulator and it will only lose it's charge if it is earthed.
Why current cannot pass through insulators?
First of all, because that's the definition of an insulator - a substance that doesn't easily let current pass. As to the mechanism, that has to do with how freely the charge carriers (usually electrons) can move.

A material that doesnt allow electrons to move through it easily is an?
insulator...as opposed to a conductor which does allow electrons to travel freely within it.
A material that prevents electrons from flowing freely is called what?
an insulator
What is a material through which electrons do not easily flow?
insulator
What type of material allows electrons to move freely?
Electrons move freely in a solid, as in a metal
What are good insulaters?
Good Insulator are those substance which has almost no free electrons to move freely and thus, cannot conduct electricity. When EMF (Electro motive force) is applied along the length of the insulator, high resistance of the insulator causes no motion of the electrons due to which the electrons cannot flow.

What factors make a materials good insulator?
Anything that isn't a conductor. Insulators don't conduct charges very well because their electrons cannot move freely.
What are electrons that do not move freely called?
protons????
What describes characteristics of a metallic bond?
Electrons move freely among many metal nuclei
Why is it hard for electrons to move through an insulator?
no, an electric current moves freely through an insulator
Do electrons free drift in metals?
Yes, electrons move freely in metals.
