For a material to conduct electricity , it has to be impure , so for example pure silicon cannot conduct electricity but Silicon chips in computers that are mixed with other things can. So the materials that conduct are charged with little particles that allow the flow of electricity
Because of electrolytes. Or because of the metal something is made of.

What are some materials that conduct?

Some materials that conduct electricity include metals like copper, silver, and gold, as well as carbon in the form of graphite. In addition, solutions containing ions, like saltwater, can also conduct electricity.


What do we Materials that do not conduct electricity?

Materials that do not conduct electricity are called insulators. Examples include rubber, plastic, glass, and ceramic. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electricity due to the lack of free-flowing electrons.


What fabrics conduct eletricity?

Materials that conduct electricity well include metals such as copper, aluminum, and silver. In contrast, insulating materials like rubber, plastic, and glass do not conduct electricity. Some fabrics that can conduct electricity are conductive fabrics made by weaving metal threads with conventional fibers.
