Best Answer

Different combinations of elements form different types of bonds. Ionic or covalent bonds in solid materials result in materials that have low electrical conductivity (hence are good insulators). Metallic bonds are the kind that produce high conductivity. Liquids may be electrically conductive to the extent that they contain dissociated ions. Liquids that are non polar and contain no ions will be good insulators.

How can you use a circuit to decide whether an object is a conductor or an insulator?

Well, if you have a functioning (=closed) circuit, and introduce an unknown object, then if the circuit is still functioning (=closed) then the object is a conductor. If it stops working, then it's either an insulator or an very poor conductor.
