using the energy band model, i would rank metals as good conductors. The energy gap in metals is negligible, that is the valence band and the conduction band overlap. Thus it is very easy for electrons in the valence band to move to the conduction band thereby conducting currents. Hence metals are good conductors.

Why is sulfur a good insulator?
Sulfur is a nonmetal. Nonmetals are bad conductors, while metals are good conductors. Since sulfur is a bad conductors, it is a good insulator.
Why sulfur is good insulator?
