Non-metals are mostly poor conductors, or so called insulators. Metals conduct electricity. These have free electrons which may move freely around the surface of the element.
Materials that do not conduct electricity are an insulator.
The conduct of electricity
Conductor are materials that conduct electricity. There are also semiconductors, which conduct electricity but not as well, and superconductors, which conduct electricity without resistance when very cold.

For a material to conduct electricity , it has to be impure , so for example pure silicon cannot conduct electricity but Silicon chips in computers that are mixed with other things can. So the materials that conduct are charged with little particles that allow the flow of electricityBecause of electrolytes. Or because of the metal something is made of.

Insulator materials will not carry or conduct electricity.
The best conductor for heat and electricity is any type of metal element.

copper, metals...
Usually, yes.
No, camphor does not conduct electricity. It is a type of organic compound, so it cannot ionize to conduct electricity.

materials that usually have an extra or unpaired electron in their outermost orbital of its atom conduct electricity
Materials that do not conduct electricity well are Insulating materials, or insulators. Examples include glass, rubber, plastic, air, ceramic, porcelain, dry paper and dry wood. Pure water will not conduct electricity at all.
Anything metallic can conduct electricity. Also molten ionic compounds and solutions of ionic compounds. Aqueous acids also conduct electricity.
