The ability of a material to conduct an electric current is termed as ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY.
Generally,
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY is the ratio between ELECTRICAL FIELD STRENGTH and the CURRENT DENSITY of the conductor.
The unit is Sm-1.
It is also known as SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE.
ELECTRICAL CONDUCIVITY = (ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY)-1
The unit of ELECTRICAL CONDUCIVITY is ohm- meter.

Why does chalk not conduct electricity?
Chalk, which is calcium carbonate, does not conduct electricity. This is due to the electrons being held tightly by the ions, which means they are not free to travel and conduct electricity.
Why ionic compound do not conduct electricity?
Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when solid because the ions are held in place by a lattice structure which means they are not free to move to conduct. However when molten or dissolved ionic compounds do conduct electricity because the ions are free to move.
What does insulator mean in a scientific way?
It means a substance that does not conduct electricity (does not allow electricity to flow through it).
Why doesn't sodium oxide conduct electricity?
covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity
Does sugar in solid form conduct electricity?
well technically anything can conduct electricity..... but that doesnt mean it will be easier because of higher and lower resistances.
Do brinjal conduct electricity?
no brinjal does not conduct electricity
Does molten sugar conduct electricity?
It does not conduct electricity
Why does CCl4 does not conduct electricity?
Why does CCl4 not conduct electricity?
Does methanol conduct electricity?
No, methanol does not conduct electricity. It does not conduct electricity because it is a non-electrolyte molecule. Sugar also is non-electrolyte, therefore it also does not conduct electricity.
What does insulator means?
An insulator is ant substance that does not conduct or emit heat or electricity
Does a banana conduct electricity?
Yes bananas conduct electricity
Does pyrite conduct electricity?
Yes, Pyrite can conduct electricity.
