Silicon electrical conductivity?

Varies dramatically with dopant concentration. Pure silicon is almost an insulator.


Which would be the best insulator carbon or silicon or aluminum or oxygen?

Oxygen. Carbon as diamond is a good electrical insulator, (graphite is an electrical conductor), silicon is a semiconductor so has limited electrical conductivity and aluminium is a metal and a good electrical conductor.

Is glass insulator or conductor?

Glass is an insulator, as it DOES NOT conduct current. It is a material which has no free electrons available to flow as electrical current. Conductors, like copper or aluminum, have free electrons, or electrons in the outer shells of their atoms that are easily knocked loose. These electrons flow from negative to positive when an electrical potential (voltage) is applied across the material. We call the flow of electrons "current".


Is plastic a good electrical conductor or insulator?

Plastic is made out of organic (carbon based) molecules which hold on to their electrons rather than contributing them to a common pool as metals do. Hence you do not get the kind of electron mobility needed for electrical conductivity.
