(not possitive, about this, but since I last checked my periodic table there were only 3 types of elements, so this makes sence.)
A metaloid
Carbon in graphite form is used for resistors. Carbon in diamond form has much the same property but is so expensive they are not used for this application.
Certain crystal structures of Boron have interesting conductivities.

Why do quarters conduct electricity better than pennies?
quarters are made of steel, and pennies are made of copper. Copper doesn't conduct electricity
How much electricity can metal conduct?
It depends on the type of metal. The ability of a metal to conduct electricity is one trait that identifies a metal. For example, copper can conduct electricity very well (better than most metals).
What is a metalloid called if it conducts electricity better than non-metals but not as well as metals?
Probably Water, it conducts but doesnt send the current around a single direction, instead scatters it out.
What is the connection between a metalloid and semiconductor?
The connection between a metalloid and a semiconductor is that metalloids are used in electronics as semiconductors. A semiconductor doesn't conduct electricity as well as a metal, but does conduct electricity better than a nonmetal.
Which Metal Doesn't Conduct Electricity?
think allof them do, just some of them are better conductors (like silver and copper), and some are worse.
Is nickel a better electrical conductor than gold?
At room temperature, gold will conduct electricity better than almost any other element other than silver.
Elemets that conduct heat and electricity well?
Metals, although some conduct heat & electricity better than others.

Do different things conduct electricity better than others?
yes!
Why do fruits conduct electricity better than vegetables?
More electrolytes.
Will titanuim conduct electricity?
Yes, although there are better conductors of electricity, titanium is still a good conductor.

Are all types of metal conductors?
All metals conduct heat and electricity. Some metals e.g., gold, copper conduct electricity better than others.
What metals insulate electricity?
Metals actually conduct electricity, not insulate them. Some metals conduct better than others, but the point is that metals don't insulate heat or electricity at all.Glucose rubber cold glass and water
