  1. Conductor: The word "conductor" refers to a material that transmits electricity. Example: Almost every metal is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
  2. Sulfur: Sulfur is an element related to the oxygen family.
  3. Non-metals are poor conductors of heat and electricity, and sulfur is a non-metal.
  4. As sulfur does not have free electrons to conduct the electricity, it is a poor conductor.
  5. It conducts electricity under specific conditions.

Hence, sulfur is not a good conductor.
