Why is nylon a good insulator?

It is a good electrical insulator because it has no mobile electrons, unlike metals which have a populated conduction band.


What is a material that is a good conductor and one good i insulator?

A good conductor of electricity is copper, which allows electrons to flow easily, while a good insulator is rubber, which restricts the flow of electrons due to its high resistance.


What are good insulaters?

Good Insulator are those substance which has almost no free electrons to move freely and thus, cannot conduct electricity. When EMF (Electro motive force) is applied along the length of the insulator, high resistance of the insulator causes no motion of the electrons due to which the electrons cannot flow.


When a molecule that has 5 electrons in its outer shell would make a good?

Insulator.


Why copper metal is a good conductor and plastic an insulator?

They're both related to the degree of freedom that their molecules' electrons have in moving about ; a metal's electrons are free to move to any adjacent atom, whereas a plastic usually has its electrons closely bound.


Is plastic conductor or insulator?

Plastic is an insulator.


Is nylon a good conductor of electricity?

No, nylon is not a good conductor of electricity, it is an insulator.


What is a silver spoon a insulator or conductor?

Silver is a good conductor of electricity, not an insulator. This is due to its ability to easily allow the flow of electrons through it.


What is the primary characteristic of element that makes it a good insulator?

If the the number of electrons on the shell are stable.


The difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?

A good conductor allows for the easy flow of electricity due to its high conductivity, while a good insulator restricts the flow of electricity due to its high resistance. Conductors have loosely bound electrons that can move easily, while insulators have tightly bound electrons that do not move easily.


Is a balloon an insulator or conductor?

A balloon is an insulator. It does not conduct electricity well because it is usually made of materials like rubber or plastic that do not allow electrons to flow easily.


A conductor differs from an insulator in that a conductor is an?

A conductor is a material that has one or a few electrons in the outer shell of its atoms. These electrons are easily knocked loose, or are already moving about in the material. When a voltage is applied to a conductor, these electrons are repelled by the negative polarity and attracted by the positive polarity. Their movement is called "current". a conductor is a material that transports electrons and electricity can pass through it, metals are good conductors. a insulator is something that is a barrier to electrons and can not pass electricity, rubber is a good insulator.
