Objects that conduct electricity poorly are called poor conductors of electricity or insulators . There is a difference though. Poor conductors of electricity are capable of conduction under certain circumstances while insulators cannot conduct electricity under any condition, example ; air is a poor conductor of electricity as it cannot conduct under normal conditions but lightning is able to pass through it during a storm.

What are the two things metal can conduct?
All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.
Why does chalk not conduct electricity?
Chalk, which is calcium carbonate, does not conduct electricity. This is due to the electrons being held tightly by the ions, which means they are not free to travel and conduct electricity.
Which metals do not conduct electricity?
all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others
Why does humans conduct electricity?
humans conduct electricity because your body is made 70% of water. so its the best conductor.
Does a sock conduct electricity?
yes
Does glacial acetic acid conduct electricity?
Only extremely poorly.
Do rubbers conduct electricity?
Rubber objects do not conduct electricity, neither do they let electricity travel through them.
Will pencil lead conduct electricity?
Yes, Pencil Lead does conduct Electricity. Copper, Gold and Silver though are the best conductors.
What objects conduct heat from electricity?
A hair dryer
What is conductuctivity?
Is the rate or capacity that objects have to conduct electricity
Does a penny spoon and nail all conduct electricity?
Yes, all three objects (penny, spoon, nail) can conduct electricity since they are made of metal, which is a good conductor. However, the size and shape of the objects may affect how efficiently they conduct electricity.
What name is given to the objects that didn't conduct electricity?
Insultator
Does ammonium nitrate conduct electricity?
Ammonia is a gas. Gases do conduct electricity, as all materials do. However, they conduct electricity so poorly that we consider them insulators. "Electricity" requires the movement of electrons. In a gas, these electrons are too dispersed to provided any measurable current. So it does conduct electricity and heat, however conducts them both very poorly ;')
The name of an object which conducts heat or electricity?
Metals which have free valence electrons conduct electricity and heat. thus they are good conductors.
Can ammonia conduct electricity?
Ammonia is a gas. Gases do conduct electricity, as all materials do. However, they conduct electricity so poorly that we consider them insulators. "Electricity" requires the movement of electrons. In a gas, these electrons are too dispersed to provided any measurable current.
What objects can conduct electricity?
Any solid metal plus liquid mercury in their elemental form.
What objects will conduct electricity?
many "objects" conduct electricity. It is a matter of which "objects" or metals are more conductive than others. The metals range from Silver to Aluminum(weak conductor). Silver is a very good conductor but expensive, so people turn to copper.
