Conductors and Insulators

Conductors are materials that permit electric charge to move easily within them. Most metals are good conductors.
Conductors generally have only a few electrons in their outermost shells. These electrons can be detached easily and are relatively 'free'.These free electrons constitute the electric current that flows through the conductors when a potential difference is applied between the ends of the conductor.

Insulators permit charge to move much less readily. In insulators, all the electrons appear to be firmly bound to the nucleus. However,the charges within the molecules can shift slightly. An example is a charged comb attracting tiny bits of paper(insulator). The charged comb causes charges within the insulator to shift and then the insulator is attracted to the comb.

Examples of insulators e.g., plastic, wood,glass etc.
Did you know that tap water is a conductor, but chemically pure water is a non-conductor or insulator.
