I'm assuming electrical conductor - Several spring to mind. Carbon is pretty bad at conducting electricity but it will do it, which is why electrical resistors are made of them. Semiconductors such as Silicon and Germanium can be coerced into conducting electricity when atomically altered by a doping process. These last two are what make this website (and every single website on the planet) possible. These two elements are used to make the single most important thing in the computing world - No not Microsoft or Apple - They make the transistor, invented over 50 years ago but without which modern computers would not exist.

What is an element that is neither a good conductor or a good insulator?

Silicon is an element that falls in between being a good conductor and a good insulator. It is a semiconductor which means its conductivity can be modified by introducing impurities or applying an electric field.


What is an element that is not a good conductor and good isolator?

One example of an element that is not a good conductor and a good insulator is sulfur. Sulfur is a non-metallic element that is a poor conductor of electricity due to its lack of free electrons for easy electron flow. However, sulfur is a good insulator because its atoms are tightly bonded together, making it difficult for electricity to pass through.

Is the element neon a good conductor of heat and electricity?

Neon is a good insulator due to its stable electron structure. Insulator acts as a barrier to electrons. Neon is used in bulbs.


Is iron a insulator?

No because it is a good conductor of heat and electricity!


Is a seashell a conductor or insulator?

A seashell is typically considered an insulator because it does not easily conduct electricity. The material of the seashell is not a good conductor of electricity due to its high resistance.


Is zinc a good insulator?

No, zinc is not a good insulator. It is actually a good conductor of electricity and heat.
