Enorder for materials to conduct electricity they need to have free electrons which carry the current. Materials which can do this include metals, water, Ionic salts when in there molten or aqueous states.
Wood, plastic, gases and covalent compounds do not have free electrons and therefore do do conduct.

Not a good electrical conductor or insulator?
babies, rocks, cabbage, and habberdasheries are neither good electrical conductors, nor insulators.
What do you call poor conductors?
Insulators.
What are the electrical properties of metal?
good conductors of heat bad insulators low resistence high conductivity
Are all coins insulators?
Nearly all coins are metal so they're conductors, not insulators.
Non-conductors or insulators must be neutralized with?
Question appears to be meaningless.
Which metal acts as an insulator?
Metals are conductors, not insulators. Both electrical and thermal conductors.
What Types of building materials are conductors and insulators?
electrical
Which appliance uses good electrical conductors and insulators?
Wired
What does an electrical insulator have?
Electrical insulators are made from materials that are poor conductors of electricity. Metallic elements are good conductors, non metallic elements are poor conductors. Some materials used as insulators are, paper, glass, ceramics, rubber and plastics.
What practical application do you have for insulators and conductors?
Carrying electrical power in homes and businesses.
Are humans conductors or insulators?
humans are not insulators, but are conductors!
List of good and bad conductor of electricity?
Good conductors conduct electrical current very easily because of their free electrons. Some common good conductors are copper, aluminum, gold, and silver.Bad conductors (or insulators) oppose electrical current and make poor conductors. Some common insulators or bad conductors are glass, air, plastic, rubber, and wood.Conductors have a very low resistance to electrical current while insulators or bad conductors have a very high resistance to electrical current.
What are 5 conductors and insulators present at your home?
House
What are some insulators and conductors?
Insulators are like rubber and wood because insulators that stops the flow of electrical charge. Conducts are the opposite so the items would be metal .
Are insulators dull brittle and poor conductors?
Insulators are conductors
Are electrical conductors and insulators equally important for electricity?
Yes. You need both conductors and insulators to work with electricity. Conductors such as wires provide a path for electricity to move where it is needed and insulators prevent electricity from dissipating, from being where it is not supposed to be and where it can cause harm and damage.
Not a good electrical conductor or insulator?
babies, rocks, cabbage, and habberdasheries are neither good electrical conductors, nor insulators.
