How well something conducts electricity depends on its charge and how freely the electrons can move in it, for example, electricity will typically ignore humans in order to flow to a metal because metal is a much better conductor due to the fact that electrons in metal are much less bound to their atoms than that of humans.
Electrolytic solutions contain ions that can conduct electricity, while non-electrolytic solutions do not have ions that conduct electricity. In electrolytic solutions, the electrolytes dissociate into positive and negative ions when dissolved in water, allowing for the flow of electrical current. Non-electrolytic solutions do not dissociate into ions and therefore do not conduct electricity.
Water contains ions and free electrons that can move and carry electric current, while air is composed mostly of molecules that do not contain free charges. This allows water to conduct electricity, while air does not conduct electricity well due to its lack of free charges.
A material's ability to conduct electricity is determined by its conductivity. Materials with high conductivity can easily conduct electrical currents, while those with low conductivity have difficulty allowing the flow of electricity.
Glass and rubber are not good conductors of electricity.
Most ionic solids cannot conduct electricity in the solid phase. They only do so in the liquid phase. While they are solid, the ions in the ionic solid are fixed in their lattice so cannot move to conduct electricity whereas in the liquid phase, the ions are free and mobile and can act as charge carriers for electricity.

One of two things is necessary for a substance to conduct electricity: 1.) Mobile ions 2.) Mobile electrons Ionic compounds will conduct electricity IN SOLUTION because ionic compounds dissociate in solution and move about freely, while molecular compounds do not offer mobile ions or electrons. Keep in mind this is only true in solutions. If you just try to run electricity through a brick of salt, it won't work out quite as well.
While there are many liquids that are known to conduct electricity, there are several that do not. These liquids that don't conduct electricity include milk, lava in its molten state, melting wax, and soda pop.
Yes, both bases and acids can conduct electricity when dissolved in water because they form ions that are free to carry electric charge. In bases, hydroxide ions (OH-) conduct electricity, while in acids, hydrogen ions (H+) conduct electricity.
Insulators have tightly bound electrons and do not conduct electricity well, while conductors have loosely bound electrons that can move freely and conduct electricity effectively.
No, copper is not an electrolyte. Electrolytes are substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in water, while copper is a metal that does not conduct electricity in the same way.

Cesium Chloride can only conduct electricity in water or while molten. Once cesium chloride is in a solid state it will not conduct electricity.
there is no element that can't conduct electricity, only elements that do it well and others that don't do it so well. Rubber is a very poor conductor of electricity, while copper, silver and gold are very good conductors.
Ionic compounds dissociate into their constituent ions when they dissolve in solutions, whereas covalent compounds do not dissociate into ions and remain as molecules. This means that ionic compounds can conduct electricity in solution due to the presence of free ions, while covalent compounds generally do not conduct electricity in solution.
Anything that is a bad conductor of electricity, while standing on top. Like Plastic.
