Insulators are materials opposite of conductors. The atoms are not easily freed and are stable, preventing or blocking the flow of electricity.
Some examples of insulators are: glass, porcelain, plastic, and rubber.

How you get shocked by electricity?

You get shocked by electricity usually from buildup of static electricity. For example just walking on carpet and touching a doorknob may shock you, but something like that won't kill you. Others ways you can get shocked is from having wet hands and touching electrical wiring, usually appliance plug ins, which has the potential to kill you depending on different circumstances. Another way you can get shocked is if you have a heart attack or your heart stops. To restart your heart, they can use something called a defibrillator shock you and get your heart working again. The last and most dangerous way to get shocked is getting struck by lightning, which most of the time will kill you if you are not insulated.
