Here's why:
* Conductors: In conductors, like metals, electrons are loosely bound to their atoms and can easily move throughout the material. This allows for the flow of electric current.
* Insulators: In insulators, electrons are tightly bound to their atoms and cannot move freely. This makes it very difficult for current to flow through them.
Examples of insulators:
* Rubber
* Glass
* Plastic
* Wood
* Ceramic
Key takeaway: Insulators resist the flow of electricity, while conductors allow electricity to flow easily.
