All materials have some amount of electrical resistance.The flow of electron is resisted by the collision of electron with neighbouring atom.So the free flow of electron is not obtained and hence conductor offer resistance.Although this is very small as ccompared to insulator and semiconductor but it exist

Does a banana conduct electricity?
Yes bananas conduct electricity
Will coconut oil can conduct electricity?
No, in general oils do not conduct electricity.
Mercury the element ability to conduct electricity?
You can conduct electricity through liquid mercury.
What are ALL the materials that can conduct electricity?
Anything metallic can conduct electricity. Also molten ionic compounds and solutions of ionic compounds. Aqueous acids also conduct electricity.
What most a solution contain to conduct electricity?
A solution must contain ions, to be able to conduct electricity.
Do rubbers conduct electricity?
Rubber objects do not conduct electricity, neither do they let electricity travel through them.
What objects conduct heat from electricity?
A hair dryer
What is conductuctivity?
Is the rate or capacity that objects have to conduct electricity
What name is given to the objects that didn't conduct electricity?
Insultator
Do metal objects get charged by conduction?
When metal objects conduct electricity the electricity just passes through them, it does not remain to impart an electrical charge.
The name of an object which conducts heat or electricity?
Metals which have free valence electrons conduct electricity and heat. thus they are good conductors.
What are the best mediums to conduct electricity?
Most metals are well known to be good conductors of heat. Examples of such metals are aluminum and copper. Objects that do not conduct electricity are known as insulators.
Objects that conduct electricity poorly are?
Objects that conduct electricity poorly are called poor conductors of electricity or insulators . There is a difference though. Poor conductors of electricity are capable of conduction under certain circumstances while insulators cannot conduct electricity under any condition, example ; air is a poor conductor of electricity as it cannot conduct under normal conditions but lightning is able to pass through it during a storm.
What objects can conduct electricity?
Any solid metal plus liquid mercury in their elemental form.
Does magnetite conduct electricity?
Rock is generally an insulator. Note that the color of a rock is usually not a good indicator of is composition of properties.
What objects will conduct electricity?
many "objects" conduct electricity. It is a matter of which "objects" or metals are more conductive than others. The metals range from Silver to Aluminum(weak conductor). Silver is a very good conductor but expensive, so people turn to copper.
Why doesn't sodium oxide conduct electricity?
covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity covalent bonds do not conduct electricity
