Conductor Some materials are conductors of Heat OR Electricity. But the property is not the same for one material; example glass is a good conductor of heat but a poor conductor of electricity.
Some cars, mircowaves, computers, toasters, hair dryers, cell phones. People wonder how cell phones run on electricity it's because the battery inside the cell phone is powered by electricity. Without electricity the battery would die out after a while.
Piezoelectric discharge (some butane lighters)
At some point in your life you must have lived through a power failure. Without electricity this is what your life would be like year after year. Very inconvenient.
Most nonconductors have covalent bonds. One thing that complicates matters is that some materials with purely covalent bonds do conduct electricity at least to some degree.
Most organic materials are nonconductors of electricity because they lack free electrons or mobile charge carriers that can easily move through the material to conduct electricity. The molecular structures of organic materials typically do not have delocalized electron pathways, unlike metals or semiconductors, which are good conductors of electricity.
Most non-metals are in fact considered to be non-conductors. Some non-metals however do have the ability to conduct heat and electricity.
Insulators
Materials that do not allow electricity to flow through them are called insulators. These materials have high electrical resistance, which prevents the flow of electric current. Common examples of insulators include rubber, glass, and plastic.
In order to insulate electrical wiring you need to uses nonconductors such as rubber, plastics and ceramics.
Almost everything is a good conductor of sound, but a conductor of heat and electricity are usually only metals. A nonmetal can be an insulator, or something that doesn't conduct things, for heat and electricity.
Halogens have 7 electrons in last orbit. They disparately want one electron to fill there last orbit. So they will simply hold the electrons tightly and as you know, for electricity to flow there should be free electrons. They will not give electrons so easily as metals do, who wants to get rid of extra electron/electrons to fill there outer orbit. If very high voltage is applied halogens may be forced to conduct electricity and Nobel gases will give up before halogens, when forced to conduct electricity.
logic gates comes under semiconductor
all nonconductors are either nonmetal or metalloids (partial metals)
there are two types of bonds that are non-conductors of electricity, ionic bonds and covalent bonds. covalent bonds occur when one or more pairs of electrons are shared by two atoms. ionic bonds are when one or more electrons from one bond are removed and attached to another, resulting in positive and negative ions that attract each other. the main differnece is that non conductors do not have electrons that can move from nucleus to nucleus, so energy cannot be transfered.
Some types of electricity is static electricity, current electricity...and porn.
