rubber, Styrofoam, and plastic
Objects that are nonconductors of heat, also known as insulators, include materials such as rubber, wood, plastic, and glass. These materials have a low thermal conductivity, meaning they do not easily transfer heat. As a result, they are commonly used to prevent or reduce heat transfer in various applications, such as insulation for buildings, electrical cables, and thermal containers.
Materials that do not allow electricity to flow through them are called insulators. These materials have high electrical resistance, which prevents the flow of electric current. Common examples of insulators include rubber, glass, and plastic.
Halogens have 7 electrons in last orbit. They disparately want one electron to fill there last orbit. So they will simply hold the electrons tightly and as you know, for electricity to flow there should be free electrons. They will not give electrons so easily as metals do, who wants to get rid of extra electron/electrons to fill there outer orbit. If very high voltage is applied halogens may be forced to conduct electricity and Nobel gases will give up before halogens, when forced to conduct electricity.
No, MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) is not a semiconductor. It is a type of engineered wood product made from wood fibers bonded together with adhesives under heat and pressure, commonly used in construction and furniture making. Semiconductors are materials that have an electrical conductivity between conductors (like metals) and nonconductors (like insulators).
material or an object that conducts heat, electricity, light, or sound. Electrical conductors contain electric charges (usually electrons) that are relatively free to move through the material; a voltage applied across the conductor therefore creates an electric current. Insulators (electrical nonconductors) contain no charges that move when subject to a voltage. Compareinsulator. See alsoresistance, superconductivity.

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.
Most organic materials are nonconductors of electricity because they lack free electrons or mobile charge carriers that can easily move through the material to conduct electricity. The molecular structures of organic materials typically do not have delocalized electron pathways, unlike metals or semiconductors, which are good conductors of electricity.
In order to insulate electrical wiring you need to uses nonconductors such as rubber, plastics and ceramics.
Rubies are a nonconducting gem stone. Almost all crystals, stones and gemstones are nonconductors, with a few rare exceptions, such as graphite.
Most non-metals are in fact considered to be non-conductors. Some non-metals however do have the ability to conduct heat and electricity.
Silicon is a semiconductor, not a nonconductor. It lies in between conductors and nonconductors in terms of electrical conductivity. It is widely used in technology for its semiconductor properties.
