Most scientists just use either a resistance meter (also called an ohmmeter because the units it measures in are ohms) or a conductivity meter. A conductivity meter measures the ability of something to flow current, not the ability of it to resist current flow. You use one when you're dealing with extremely high resistances--in the hundreds, or thousands, of megohms. The unit for conductivity is the Mho--"ohm" spelled backwards.

Why do polymers such as polystyrene and polyethylene have different properties?
The structure of a molecule affects its properties in a number of ways. The structure says what can bond with it.
How are nature polymers and synthetic polymers similar?
Nature polymers and synthetic polymers are both large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers. They both have high molecular weights and exhibit similar properties like flexibility, strength, and durability. Additionally, both nature and synthetic polymers can be engineered to have specific properties for various applications.
What do condensation polymers and addition polymers have in common?
In both addition and condensation polymers, smaller (usually) organic monomers combine to form a larger molecule. In both cases the polymer formed has different properties than the starting monomers.
What are the properties of felt?
soft, electrical and heat insulator
Does conduction Happen better in metals or plastics?
Electrical conduction in metals nearly always (you can have conducting polymers keep in mind)

What does a multimeter test and how?
It depends on the meter. Generally they test amperage, voltage and resistance. Some also test diodes and and various other electrical properties. How it is done is called electrical theory and is far too large a subject to cover here.
