Tin does conduct electricity, but it is only 15% as conductive as copper. See related link for a table of metals and their electrical conductivities. If you meant heat conductivity, then it is about 18% as conductive as copper. I'll post a link to that, as well.

What are some characteristics and properties of Tin?

Tin is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with a silvery-white color and a relatively low melting point. It is corrosion-resistant and does not oxidize easily. Tin is commonly used in alloys, soldering materials, and as a coating to prevent other metals from corroding.


Is tin a insulator or an conductor?

Tin is a metal and therefore is a good conductor of electricity. Metals have a high density of free electrons that can move easily, allowing electricity to flow through them. Insulators, on the other hand, have very few free electrons and do not conduct electricity well.


Is bronze a conductor or insulator?

It is a conductor. Alloys like bronze are generally not as good at conducting electricity as pure metals.


Which of the following materials is likely to be the best conductor iron sulfur carbon tin?

Iron is likely to be the best conductor out of the options provided, as it is a metal and metals typically have high conductivity due to their free-flowing electrons. Sulfur, carbon, and tin are not as good conductors as metals.
