Is dry air a bad conductor of electricity?
Yes
Is air a good conductor of electric charge?
Under some circumstances such as presences of the quantity of gases present in air some times air acts as good&bad conductor of electricity.
Why air is considered as a bad conductor?
Air is quite a reasonable conductor of sound, of radio waves, and of radiant heat. It is not a good conductor of say, electricity, because of the lack of free electrons, which are needed for electrical conduction.
What is the difference between insulator and bad conductor and semi conductor?
an insulator doesn't allows electricity pass from it, a bad conductor allows electricity to pass from it but not fully or completely and a semi conductor pass electricity in little form which used to operate electronics
Is a candle good conductor of heat?
Candle is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
Is dry air a bad conductor of electricity?
Yes

Bad conductor of heat and electricity is?
insulator

Candle is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
Is air a good conductor or bad conductor and why?
Air is not a conductor of electricity if it conducts electricity we cannot live. And if there is any ions present then only that can conducts electricity but air is a mixture of gases. So it is not a conductor. Lightning is proof that air is a conductor, however it is not a 'good' conductor it is about average. Air conductivity changes with moisture (humidity)and temperature level. The higher the moisture in the air, the higher its conductivity. Yes it is the water in the air that conducts generally, but the question was not "is oxygen / nitrogen / methane / etc" a good conductor. Our "Air" or "Atmosphere" is made up of a great number of components. "Paschen's Law" is what covers this question, and is pretty complex being "V=(a(pd))/(ln(pc)+b) - see link below).
Why is glass a bad conductor of electricity?
there is no metal to conduct to.
Is cermaic a good conductor?
No. Ceramic is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
Is wool conductor of heat?
Wool holds lot of air. As air is a bad conductor of heat, this makes the wool a bad conductor of heat, but a good insulator.
