Are non-metals electricity conductors?

This depends on the specific type of non-metal. For example, many types of ceramic are very poor electrical conductors. However, there are also electrically conductive ceramics, and semiconductors are also non-metallics. Salt solutions can also be electrically conductive. read more

Graphite (an allotrpoe of carbon) is a well known nonmetal which is a very good conductor of electricity. Account of that silicon, germanium also conduct electricity in moderate way thats why they are also called semi-conductors. some solutions like acid, base, or salt in water also conduct electricity. read more

These two elements are the best conductors in the metalloid group. Carbon conducts electricity and is classified as a semi-metal when in the form of graphite. Although it conducts electricity and heat like a metal or metalloid, graphite is not used commercially as a conductor. read more
