Why are non-metals poor conductors of electricity?

  1. They have high melting point

  2. They vibrate at high speed

  3. They do not have free electrons

  4. All of above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Non-metals are not dense enough and do not have enough free electrons to pass electricity efficiently. Electrons in non-metals are held tightly , they are no allowed to move freely .
