because insulators don't conduct any electricity but conductors do conduct electricity
In general, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Because insulators are the opposite of conductors and therefore electricity and heat do not pass through good insulators.
metals are good conductors of electricity. plastic and wood are insulators. they do not conduct electricity
Keys are usually made from some metal or alloy. If they are, they are good conductors, both of heat and of electricity.
They generally aren't. In contrast they are generally good conductors, both of heat and electricity.
Air and other gases are usually good insulators but sometimes they can be good conductors
they are NOT good conductors of heat and they are brittle solids.
good conductors of heat bad insulators low resistence high conductivity
Conductors and Insulators. In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot. Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.
Conductors conduct electricity because most of them are made of metals and metals are good conductors of electricity while insulators are made of rubber and rubber does not conduct electricity. To conduct electricity, the atoms that make up the material, have to have free electrons that can pass a charge on. Metals have these free electrons, whereas insulators do not.
They are called insulators. Rubber is an example of a good electrical insulator.More:PlasticGlassAirWoodCeramicPorcelainPaperVarnishMineral OilSlateMarblePolyethyleneSiliconePVCKaptonTeflon
