because thats just the way it is, simple as that.

∙ 15y agoMost materials that are good conductors of electricity have metal elements, which are good conductors. For example, water usually conducts electricity because of the metal traces of elements, such as zinc, that are inside of the water. So, pure water does not conduct electricity because it has no added elements.

∙ 8y agoCopper is a good example of a conductor. The element's atom has a free electron in its outer shell that it shares very easily with other copper atoms. This sharing of electrons makes copper one of the better electrical conductors. If the element has electrons to share in its outer shell it is a conductor whereas if the outer shell does not share its electrons it is an insulator.

∙ 10y agoAn insulator is anything that does not conduct electricity (electrical insulator ) or heat.
Insulators of heat and/or electricity are:
fur
silk
wool
rubber
percelain
glass
plastic
wood
paper
wax
ebonite

∙ 14y agobecause some materials have mobile electrons in their conduction band.these are called conductors, while others which do not have mobile electrons in their conduction are called as insulators .these electrons are responsible for conduction. By Manish Agarwal BIT, Mesra Ranchi India

∙ 12y agoit is long story but simple answer is materials have tendency to lose electrons so thats why some materials are good conductor

How are materials classified on the basis of resistivity?
Conductors, semiconductors and insulators.....
What are the types of industrial fabrics?
Industrial fabrics may be made out of natural materials or synthetic materials. Vinyl and plastic fabrics are common synthetic materials and these can be used as light insulators.
What are good insulators of electric current?
Good insultators include non-metals such as wood, plastics, rubber, styrofoam, cotton, wool and paper. Some of these materials may conduct electricity when wet.
What are materials that conduct heat slowly called?
They are called thermal insulators or materials with high thermal resistance.
Are all the non-metals insulator?
No, not all non-metals are insulators. Some are conductive, such as water.
What causes some materials to be good insulators of electrcity?
O
Why some of the materials are insulators?
They are bad conductors ,they do not allow heat transfer.
What are some examples of insulators in physical science?
The materials those do not permit electric current to flow are called insulators. Paper,organic materials like,diamond,etc. are insulators. for example diamond has such structure that hinders electricity to flow.
What are some heat insulators?
Some heat insulators are fiberglass, polyurethane foam, and polystyrene. Two other thermal insulators used as insulating materials in building construction are mineral wool and cellular glass.
What is the definition insulators?
Insulators are materials that prevent electrical flow.
Which materials insulators?
the materials are rubber and plastic
What kinds of materials make good insulators?
There are a number of materials that make good thermal insulators. Blankets and pockets of air make good thermal insulators for example.
What are some materials used to test a simple circuit for conductors and insulators?
Battery,Tester
What are not insulators?
Insulators are materials that don't conduct heat well, or (for electricity), materials that don't let electricity pass through them. In general they are non-metallic materials.
Which is true heat can travel well through all materials or heat can travel well through some materials?
Some, but not all. Some materials are insulators- heat does not travel well through them.
Why such materials are good insulators?
Dielectric meterials are good insulator materials
What carries electric current not easily?
Electrical insulators. Materials such as rubber, plastic, wood, air and some ceramics are all poor conductors of electricity, or good insulators.
