Substances that enable the flow of electricity are conductors, such as metals like copper and aluminum. Insulators, such as rubber and plastic, hinder the flow of electricity by preventing the movement of electrons. Semiconductors, like silicon, can be manipulated to either enable or inhibit the flow of electricity depending on doping and other factors.

Why molten sulfur can't conduct electricity but molten copper chloride can?

Molten sulfur consists of S8 molecules that do not have free-moving charge carriers, so they cannot conduct electricity. On the other hand, molten copper chloride dissociates into Cu+ and Cl- ions, which are free to move and carry electrical charge, making it capable of conducting electricity.
