How does a dry bamboo stick conduct the least amount of electricity?
A dry bamboo stick conducts the least amount of electricity because it is primarily composed of cellulose and lignin, which are poor conductors of electricity. The absence of moisture in dry bamboo means there are fewer free ions available to facilitate electrical conductivity. Additionally, the structure of bamboo, being a non-metallic organic material, further limits its ability to conduct electrical current. Thus, the combination of its composition and lack of moisture leads to low electrical conductivity.
What types of bonds do nonconductors have?
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.
Do substances which dissolve in water conduct an electric current?
Some do. Electrolytes, which are substances that break into ions when dissolved in water, will conduct electricity. Such substances include soluble salts, acids, and bases.Other water soluble substances are non electrolytes and do not break into ions in water, or at least do so in extremely minute amounts. They do not conduct electricity. These include alcohols, sugars, and some other polar compounds.
Why are carbon compounds not able to conduct electricity through them?
Some are. Graphite, for example, conducts at least moderately well in the plane of the rings, but not very well in the perpendicular direction.
What is a worse conductor of electricity water or wood?
This is a difficult question to answer. Water can only conduct electricity if it has dissolved minerals in it. While water from your household taps contains small amounts of dissolved minerals and will conduct electricity, pure water will not conduct electricity at all. The conductivity of wood depends greatly on the species of tree it is sourced from. Some trees have very conductive wood as a natural method of diffusing lightning strikes to reduce their damage. Generally, trees from regions with lots of storms will have wood that conducts electricity very well while trees from dryer regions will have less conductive wood. In general though, pure water is much worse of a conductor than even the least conductive woods.

What are two things lighting is attracted to?
Lighting is attracted to conductive materials, such as metal and water, due to their ability to easily conduct electrical currents. It is also attracted to tall objects, such as trees and buildings, which offer a path of least resistance for the electricity to travel.
Can C12H22O11 conduct electricity as an aqueous?
No, C12H22O11 (sucrose) cannot conduct electricity as an aqueous solution because it does not dissociate into ions in water. Conductivity in water is primarily due to the presence of free ions, which sucrose does not provide when dissolved.
Do sodium and chlorine elements conduct electricity?
Elemental sodium conducts electricity, because it is a metal and all metals are at least moderate conductors of electricity. Elemental chlorine does not conduct electricity, except under very high electric fields that provides sufficient energy to break the chlorine-chlorine bonds or otherwise ionize the chlorine molecules.
What can electric pass through?
As unsatisfying as I'm sure you'll find this, that depends on your definition of "electricity." If you mean electricity in the most conventional sense of an electrical current, electricity can move through any medium in which charge carrying quantons (protons, elecrtons, etc) can move at least somewhat freely.

Are humans good conductors?
good enough to conduct electricity in a fatal way yes! if you arebeing electricuted and you touch someone who is un earthed then they get instead - or at least the worst of it.

Some are. Graphite, for example, conducts at least moderately well in the plane of the rings, but not very well in the perpendicular direction.
What element is least electronegitive?
Francium is the least electronegative element
What is the best metal to attract electricity?
Copper Gold and platinum are the most reliable and are used in spacecraft and satellite production. It is too expensive for commercial use though. Copper and aluminum are third and fourth in conductivity.
Why does lightning not effect rubber shoes?
Rubber is an insulator, meaning that it does not conduct electricity very well. When lightning strikes, the electrical current follows the path of least resistance, which is usually a conductor like metal. Rubber shoes do not conduct electricity, so the lightning does not pass through them to reach the ground.
