it means its outer shell of the atoms that make up that matter do not let electrons flow freely from one atom to the next (its an insulator). electricity is the flow of electrons from one atom to the next.

If something does not conduct electricity, it means that it does not allow the flow of electrical current through it. This can be due to its insulating properties, lack of free-moving electrons, or high resistance to electrical flow.

If something is conductive, it allows electricity to pass through it. Examples are copper, steel, and impure water.

If something is not conductive, electricity will not pass through it. Plastic, wood, and deionized water are not conductors.
