Electricity is electrons flowing through an object---any object. The structure of metals makes it easier for electrons to flow. Also, electricity flows at very fast speed. However the electrons do not flow the same speed. Otherwise, when you turn on your light switch, an electron at the Power Station 10 miles away would zip into your house and to your light. Think of it as a long 100 foot tube(the wire) filled with ping pong balls. You start by pushing a ball into one end of the tube and a ball falls out the other end. The balls didn't travel at 100 feet; but the energy did.
The group of elements that do not conduct electricity are generally called non metals.
only metal elements conduct electricity, and they do it very well
Most metal elements are not brittle and do conduct electricity. However, there are exceptions, such as bismuth and mercury, which are brittle or poor conductors of electricity. Overall, metals are known for their malleability and good conductivity of electricity.
These elements are called noncoductors.
Yes- iron is a metal, and all metals conduct electricity.
These elements are metals.
The group of elements that do not conduct electricity are generally called non metals.
Elements that are shiny and conduct electricity are called metals. These elements have a high luster, or metallic shine, and their outer electrons are free to move, allowing them to conduct electricity. Examples of shiny, metallic elements include copper, silver, and gold.
I would say that salt water would conduct electricity best.

The metal elements.

there is no element that can't conduct electricity, only elements that do it well and others that don't do it so well. Rubber is a very poor conductor of electricity, while copper, silver and gold are very good conductors.
Metals are the group of elements that are malleable, conduct electricity, and are lustrous. Metals are typically found on the left side of the periodic table.
Non-metals are dull, brittle elements that do not conduct electricity.
Metals such as copper, silver, and gold conduct electricity well at room temperature. Other elements like aluminum, iron, and nickel also conduct electricity, although not as well as the aforementioned metals.
