As regards electrical conductors, these materials have free electrons that will support electric current flow. In general, all metals will conduct electricity, though some do it better than others. We know that silver, copper, gold and aluminum top the list of metals that have high electrical conductivity.
Insulators don't have free electrons to support electric current flow. These materials include rubber, dry wood and dry paper, many plastics, glass, ceramics and many other materials.Boobaa

Are copper aluminum and gold examples of a conductor or insulator?
insulators
What items are insulators and conductor?
Conductors are materials that allow electrons to flow easily through it. Metals are the best examples of conductors. Insulators to the opposite; they don't like letting their electrons flow. Glass, rubber, and wood are some examples of insulators.
Are aliminium and plastic examples of insulators?
Aluminium is a conductor. Plastic,wood,rubber,cotton,PVC,glass are some examples for non conductors.
What are the examples of insulator and conductor?
The difference between a conductor and an insulator is that a conductor allows electrons to travel. This is because the "outer electrons" of a conductor are not anchored like those of an insulator. Conductors tend to be metals. Some examples of insulators are plastic, glass, rubber and wood.
5 examples of insulators and conductor?
wood, rubber, plastic, cloth, and glass
