For a material to conduct electricity, it must have free movable electric charges, such as free electrons or free ions, in order to 'carry' electricity. In the case of metals, there is a 'sea' of delocalized electrons. These free electrons can 'carry' the electricity, and thus, it is a conductor.

How is a slinky toy a conductor of electricity?
A slinky toy can conduct electricity because it is made of metal, which is a good conductor of electricity. When a voltage is applied to the slinky, the electrons in the metal can move freely, allowing the electricity to flow through it.
What is a metal a good conductor of?
heat and electricity.
Is a paperclip a conductor or an insulator?
That depends on the material. If it's made of metal (which is usually the case), it will be a good conductor both of electricity and of heat.
Sulfur is a bad conductor of what?
electricity! Because it is a non-metal
Is a nail a conductor of electricity or a insulator of electricity?

Is paper clip a conductor or insulators?
conductor. We just experimented in science last week.
Is a silver belt buckle a insulator or conductor?
silver is metal. metal conducts heat and electricity.
