All metals Conduct:
Tin, steel, iron, copper, aluminum, zinc, gold, silver and all other metals conduct electricity very well compared to most other compounds. (These pure metals conduct, but when they are used to form compounds, the result may of may not conduct electricity.)
Why metals conduct:
With the discoveries in solid state physics of the 20th century we learned that metals are collections of atoms which have somewhat unusually properties of the electrons. In metals the outermost electron (sometimes two) is not specifically associated with that one atom but is free to associate with atoms far and wide. We say these are delocalized electrons. Since the electrons are not attached to specific atoms, it takes very little energy to move them. As a result, any small voltage causes electron flow in a metal.
This movement or flow of electrons is called electricity so this is why metals conduct electricity.
Aside: Metals are not the only materials that conduct electricity, they just do it especially well.

Zinc is a poor conductor of electricity. It has a low electrical conductivity compared to metals like copper or silver.
Electrically conductive footwear typically has metallic components or conductive materials embedded in the sole to allow static electricity to flow through them, preventing electrostatic discharge. Non-conductive footwear is made of materials that do not conduct electricity, such as rubber or plastic, providing insulation against electrical currents.
No, titanium is a metal and is considered to be a good conductor of electricity.
Most drinking straws are made of plastic, which is generally not electrically conductive. However, paper straws may contain additives or coatings that could potentially make them conductive. It is always a good idea to exercise caution when using any materials near electrical sources.
Copper is more electrically conductive than iron. This is because copper has a higher conductivity due to its atomic structure, allowing electrons to move more freely through the material compared to iron.

All metals are conductive. That is part of the definition of metals
Yes, metalloids have properties of both metals and non-metals. They are semiconductors, meaning they can conduct electricity to some extent, but not as well as metals. Their conductivity can be modified by controlling impurities or introducing dopants.

any material that will not allow electricity to pass through it. rubber, plastic, some electrically conductive materials are metals, esp. gold, water, neon gases insulators, glass, paper :)
Electrically conductive - yes
NO!
It is electrically conductive.
Tin is a metal because it is located under a column containing metals as well as being electrically conductive.
