Answer to Question 1

Conductors are substances that have many free electrons at room temperature and can pass electricity. Insulators do not have a large number of free electrons at room temperature and do not conduct electricity. Substances that are neither conductors nor insulators can be called semiconductors.

Answer to Question 2

Electricity is the flow of negatively charged particles called electrons through an electrically conductive material. Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom, which is located approximately in the atom's center. The negative charge of the electrons is neutralized by particles called neutrons, which act as temporary energy repositories for the interactions between positively charged particles called protons and electrons.
