really no one cares ... I'm trying to know the answer and the bloody website is telling me to answer the question I'm asking .
No solid iodine does not conduct electricity.
No solid iodine does not conduct electricity.
Carbon is not malleable but in some forms can conduct electricity. Gold is malleable and conductive.
Metals are the group of elements that are malleable, conduct electricity, and are lustrous. Metals are typically found on the left side of the periodic table.
Metals can conduct electricity, are malleable (can be hammered into thin sheets), and have a shiny appearance (luster).
t that is a malleable, shiny solid, but doesn't conduct heat or electricity
nonmetal

Iodine is covalent so it does not conduct electricity in a solid, however it will conduct in a liquid or molten state. The reason why it cannot conduct in a solid is that electrons cannot move freely through it.
The alkali metals, transition metals and metals in group 13, 14, and 15 on the periodic table all are malleable and good conductors of electricityEach of these groups has different characteristics, but all are able to conduct electricity and be formed or shaped easily.
Liquid iodine does not conduct electricity because it does not contain free ions or electrons that are necessary for the flow of electric current. Iodine molecules in liquid form do not dissociate into ions or have mobile charge carriers, so they are not able to carry an electric charge.
