Question

All non-metals are poor conductors of electricity.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

According to the conductivity of electricity, materials are of two types-

Conductor- A substance or material that allows electricity to pass through it, is called a conductor. Example - Silver, copper, etc.

Non-conductor/Insulator - A substance or material that does not allow electricity to pass through it, is called a non-conductor or insulator. Example - Wood, plastic, etc.

• Non-metals do not have enough free electrons to pass electricity.
• Electrons in non-metals are held tightly and they are not allowed to move freely.
• Thus, non-metals are bad conductors of electricity.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
