Materials that do not conduct electricity are an insulator.
The conduct of electricity
Conductor are materials that conduct electricity. There are also semiconductors, which conduct electricity but not as well, and superconductors, which conduct electricity without resistance when very cold.

For a material to conduct electricity , it has to be impure , so for example pure silicon cannot conduct electricity but Silicon chips in computers that are mixed with other things can. So the materials that conduct are charged with little particles that allow the flow of electricityBecause of electrolytes. Or because of the metal something is made of.
Insulators are materials that don't conduct heat well, or (for electricity), materials that don't let electricity pass through them. In general they are non-metallic materials.
Insulator materials will not carry or conduct electricity.

copper, metals...
Usually, yes.

Materials that do not conduct electricity well are Insulating materials, or insulators. Examples include glass, rubber, plastic, air, ceramic, porcelain, dry paper and dry wood. Pure water will not conduct electricity at all.
Anything metallic can conduct electricity. Also molten ionic compounds and solutions of ionic compounds. Aqueous acids also conduct electricity.
Metal, specifically, copper

Superconducters are materials that conduct electricity with little or no resistance.
Superconductivity is where there's absolutely zero electrical resistance or magnetic expulsion. Materials that are superconductors conduct electricity much like other materials, but more efficiently.
