it means its outer shell of the atoms that make up that matter do not let electrons flow freely from one atom to the next (its an insulator). electricity is the flow of electrons from one atom to the next.
hope this helps

∙ 14y agoIf something is conductive, it allows electricity to pass through it. Examples are copper, steel, and impure water.
If something is not conductive, electricity will not pass through it. Plastic, wood, and deionized water are not conductors.

Why do materials conduct electricity?
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.
