ALL things, to some extent, will conduct electricity. Some things, superconductors, are perfect conductors, and an electric current can be made to circle endlessly without any loss. Some things, such as glass, quartz or mica are very poor conductors. There is an extremely wide range of conductivity among materials. Silver has a conductivity of 6x10^6 S/m while Teflon has a conductivity of 10^-24 S/m. This is a range of 10 to the 30 power!
