Explanation / Answer

1)

here,

In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot.

most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.

"Conductor" implies that the outer electrons of the atoms are loosely bound and free to move through the material. Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators
