All wires conduct electricity, since wire is always made of metal, and all metals are conductors.
Copper is preferred though, as it has the highest electrical conductivity rating of all non-precious metals. It is also very ductile when annealed, so can be drawn into wire of anything down to sub-millimetre diameters.
Other metals are used for other properties. Aluminum wire has a higher conductivity to weight ratio and lower cost, for instance.

What metals can't conduct electricity?
By definition, a solid metal, including liquid mercury, in its elemental form should conduct electricity. Under what condition a metal cannot conduct electricity? Normally when a metal is oxidized, the result is highly resistive, but then the oxide film (such as rust) is no longer considered metallic. Some metals, such as sodium, don't normally exist in its elemental form in nature. If these metals are somehow kept out of trouble (air), they too should conduct electricity. ==================================
Explain how Metallic bonds allow electricity to flow?
Metallic bonds are able to conduct electricity only when they are dissolved in a liquid substance or when in molten, this is because these conditions cause the metallic bond to break down and allow the electrons used in the bond to be delocalised and disposited around the molten or liquid. This sea of free electrons is then able to pass through a current and conduct electricity.
Can plasma arc welding weld non magnetic materials?
Plasma arc welding can weld almost any commonly used metal. It is not limited to magnetic metals, they only need to conduct electricity.
Metal conduct current?
Metal conduct electricity and flow of electricity is the current.

Yes, Sodium is a metal and it does conduct electricity.
Which non metal can slightly conduct electricity?
Carbon can conduct electricity reasonably well and is a non-metal.
What conducts electricity other than metal?

Will a pipe cleaner conduct electricity?
yes, there is metal which will conduct
Can a stove conduct electricity?
AS most stoves are made of metal, uninsulated parts of them will conduct electricity.
Can lutetium conduct elctricity?
Yes, lutetium can conduct electricity as it is a metal and has metallic properties like high electrical conductivity.
What characteristic of a metal allows it to conduct electricity?
The physical properties of different metals make them useful for different purposes in metals can move through the metal, allowing metals to conduct electricity.
