Best Answer

Poor conductors of electricity include plastics, woods and gases, in other words, anything that is not a metal.

Poor conductors of heat include foam, air and some fabrics, such as felt.

Plastic for example is a poor conductor because it is an insulator. Plastic is made up of a substance that dose not allow the flow of electrons.

rubber, plastics? usually almost all the non-metals(with the exception of carbon, carbon conducts electricity)

EDIT: CARBON as in the element itself (C)

covalent compounds of carbon usually cannot conduct electricity e.g. Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl4)

dry air also cannot conduct electricity.
