Differentiate between conductors and insulators.

Conductors Insulators
They allow electricity to pass through them. They do not allow electricity to pass through them.
They have electric charges free to move. They have electric charges which are not free to move.
When some charge is transferred to a conductor, it readily distributes over the entire surface. When some charge is transferred to an insulator, it remains at the same place over the surface.
Most metals are conductors. Most non-metals are insulators.
