Mainly metals. All metals are fairly good conductors. Some non-metals can conduct electricity, as well.

What non metals can't conduct electricity?

Nonmetals such as sulfur, phosphorus, and iodine are unable to conduct electricity because they lack free-moving electrons in their atomic structure. This results in these nonmetals being poor conductors of electricity.


What are nonmetals?

Non-metals are dull, brittle elements that do not conduct electricity.


Are metals and nonmetals both good conductors?

Metals are generally good conductors of electricity due to their free electrons that can move freely within the material. Nonmetals are poor conductors of electricity because they lack free electrons for efficient conduction.
