a conductor is a thing where electricity can move through or very easy like metal and a non conductor is a thing where electricity can't move through or very hard like wood or plastic
A conductor allows electrons to flow through it when voltage(electicity) is applied to it. A non conductor or insulator as it should be known does the reverse
a non conductor is something that doesnt allow heat, or electricity to move thru it
Not able to conduct heat, electricity or sound. Glass, porcelain, plastic and rubber are examples. These materials are also known as insulators
Plastic is an example of something that is non-conductive for electricity.
wood,aluminium,plastics,glass,sand
Yes. Rubber is electrically nonconductive.
gold silver and copper can not be conducted.
Pollution Degree 1: No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. The pollution has no effect. Pollution Degree 2: Normally only nonconductive pollution occurs. Temporary conductivity caused by condensation is to be expected. Pollution Degree 3: Conductive pollution or dry nonconductive pollution that becomes conductive due to condensation occurs. To be found in industrial environment or construction sites (harsh environments). Pollution Degree 4: The pollution generates persistent conductivity caused by conductive dust, rain, or snow.
If you mean "dis"allow the flow, it's because electrons cannot travel easily between the atoms of the material.

Duct tape is nonconductive, and is not CAT6. If you have a damaged CAT6 cable, you could put duct tape over the damaged area, but there is no guaruntee the damage won't cause the cable to underperform (your network may not work at 1Ghz).
any material that will not allow electricity to pass through it. rubber, plastic, some electrically conductive materials are metals, esp. gold, water, neon gases insulators, glass, paper :)
distilled water is pure H20 therefore there are no minerals or other crap in it that will conduct electricity. although technically you can run a very high voltage circuit with few amps through the few ions it has, it will not conduct a circuit your thinking of, so no :)
If conductivity were the only issue, silver would be the best but it is expensive.Considering both cost and conductivity both copper and aluminum are good choices, but aluminum cannot be soldered and its oxide is hard and nonconductive causing interconnection resistance to rise over time and has caused house fires.
Not as a solid, but dissolve it in water and the ions help electricity conduct through the saltwater. Totally pure water will hardly conduct electricity. The impurities in the water are what allows current to flow.
Because copper has both very good electrical conductivity and is relatively low cost.Silver has better electrical conductivity but is very high cost.Aluminum also has both very good electrical conductivity and is relatively low cost, but has the drawback that its oxide is nonconductive which can present a long term fire hazard if it is used for electric wires.etc.
Pure ethanol, like pure water, is a poor conductor of electricity. This is because there are nearly no electrolytes in the substance, besides the negligible number that form as a result of auto-ionization. Therefore, the charge cannot be carried through the ethanol. However, impurities may substantially increase the conductivity of an ethanol solution.
