Conductors are materials that will allow electricity to flow through them. Materials that contain 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons are good conductors. Some examples of good conductors are gold, silver, aluminum, and copper.
Insulators are materials, or combinations of materials, with a high number of valence electrons (5, 6, 7, and 8). Examples of good insulators are porcelain, glass, air, and rubber.

What are 3 examples of insulators?
examples plastic Rubber oil
What is the name of two insulators?
Insulators in electricity can be glass or ceramic.Insulators in heating can be polystyrene or fibre panels.
What are 5 examples of thermal insulators?
Rubber, tinfoil, wood, cloth, paper, Styrofoam and plastic
Examples of insulators and conductors?
Insulators: wood, plastic Conductors: Copper, Gold
Objects that stop the flow of electricity are good insulators what materials would be the best insulator for an electrical wire?
Plastic Tubing.
Name 2 insulators?
Insulators are materials or substances that do not readily allow the passage of sound or heat. Two examples of insulators are glass and porcelain.
What are some examples of a good insulator?
Examples of good insulators include rubber, glass, wood, plastic, and ceramic materials. These materials have high resistance to the flow of electricity or heat, making them effective at blocking the transfer of energy.
What are good examples of heat insulators?
vacuum, styrofoam, plastic, wood, glass, rubber
What is wood and plastic are examples of?
conduction or insulators. i would pick insulators.
What are some kind of insorlaters?
Examples of some good insulators include, but are not limited to:airplasticrubberfibres and linens
Why are insulators useful?
Blankets, wool, and that itchy yellow fibreglass in attics are examples of good insulators, as heat does not easily pass through them. Anything that's dense is a good insulator.
Name two good insulators?
heater and portable barbecues
What are two materials that act as good insulators?
-- air -- cloth

True or false leather wood and water are examples of insulators?
Leather, wood, and water are examples of insulators, so this is true.
What is the difference between good conductors and good insulators?
Conductors are good energy carriers they allow energy to pass through them easily examples are steel,metals and cooper. Insulators do not allow energy (or heat) to pass through them easily such examples are wood oven mitts and cloth. ..... unless the person asking the question was referring to electricity. I dont think wood, oven mitts and cloth would be good examples for electrical insulators, as they are susceptible to collecting moisture, which is an electrical carrier.
Example of insulators?
There are plenty of examples of insulators. Insulators can be as simple as air or as complex as mixed fiberglass.
