it is called conductivity if it is carrying electric it is electrical conductivity. If it is carrying Heat it is thermal conductivity.
A substance that is a poor conductor. Is anything that is not metal. Such things as an insulator that includes wood, plastic, polystyrene foam, fabric, gas
Non-metals (e.g. sulphur) are usually good insulators, with the exception of carbon in the form of graphite. On the other hand, metals are good conductors of electricity in all states of matter.
because thats just the way it is, simple as that.
Insulators. Their valence electrons are tightly bound because the valence shell is close to full or full. Since each shell can only only hold a certain amount of electrons, the number of electrons depends on which shell is the outer or valence shell.
The energy change that happens when a substance forms from its elements (APEX)

Electrical insulators are made from materials that are poor conductors of electricity. Metallic elements are good conductors, non metallic elements are poor conductors. Some materials used as insulators are, paper, glass, ceramics, rubber and plastics.
Any covalent substance (a substance that contains no metal elements) will not let electrons flow and with therefore not conduct electricity. Ionic substances do not carry electrical current either, except for when in a liquid form or in a solution, where ions are free to flow with their respective charges.
Non-metals (e.g. sulphur) are usually good insulators, with the exception of carbon in the form of graphite. On the other hand, metals are good conductors of electricity in all states of matter.
These elements are called noncoductors.
As one of the metallic elements titanium is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
there is no element that can't conduct electricity, only elements that do it well and others that don't do it so well. Rubber is a very poor conductor of electricity, while copper, silver and gold are very good conductors.
Electricity is the flow of charged particles (often electrons), hence it flows easily where there are many 'spare' electrons (as in transition metals). An electrical insulator is something that does not have very many of these, for example the group 8 elements have a full outer shell, no electrons are 'free' as this process requires. Plastic insulates electricity.
Silver is part of the metal group on the Periodic table of elements and metals are good conductors of heat and electricity so silver would be a good conductor and insulator.
As the "materials listed below" are not given, insulators are poor conductors of heat or electricity. On a Periodic Table, insulators tend to be towards the top right corner, so metals tend to not be examples of good insulators that comprise most of the periodic table with the exception of the nonmetals (top right corner, hydrogen). The metallic elements tend to end in -ium, such as aluminium, sodium, gallium, and francium. Others are gold, silver, copper, zinc, and nickel.
Electrons are part of an atom, in elements etc. Electrodes are types of medical equipment places on certain parts of your body, that send electrical pulses to your muscles to stimulate them.
