Many materials are packed full of easily-movable charged particles.
Any material that does not contain easily-movable charged particles is called an "insulator".
Charged particles do not flow through an insulator.
Common insulators are rubber, plastic, nylon and air.
(Rubber, plastic, and nylon are packed full of charged particles, but those particles are "bound" into a solid, unmoving configuration.
The particles in air are easily-movable, but they are practically all uncharged particles -- and also there are so few of them that air is mostly empty space compared to solids).
No, insulators are made of materials that do not allow electricity to flow through easily. They have high resistance to the flow of electrical current, which helps to prevent the electricity from passing through and causing a short circuit.
Materials that allow electricity to flow through them are called conductors. Conductors typically have electrons that are free to move, allowing electric current to pass through easily. Examples of conductors include metals like copper, aluminum, and gold.
yes
Conductors are what the electrons flow through, in a single electric current called a circuit. Hence circuit breakers on conductors.
Insulators are materials that do not allow electric charges to freely flow through them. Examples include rubber, plastic, and glass. These materials have high resistance to the flow of electricity due to their atomic structure.

Insulators
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons. Bad conductor of current, or an insulator.
Something that does not allow current to flow is called an insulator. "Electricity" doesn't flow, only current, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Note, current is the flow of electrons.
Generically they are called conductors.

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to pass through it easily. Examples of insulators include rubber, plastic, glass, and ceramics. These materials have high electrical resistance, preventing the flow of electric current.
