Question

why plastic do not conduct electricity ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Wood and plastic are bad conductors of electricity because electrons in them are bound to their respective 'parent' atoms and are not free to move. Therefore, wood or plastic does not possess freely movable charges; hence they cannot conduct electricirty.

I hope it is helpfull for u thank you

>> The term “plastics” includes materials composed of various elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, and sulfur. Plastics typically have high molecular weight, meaning each molecule can have thousands of atoms bound together.

>>For plastics the carbon atoms are also connected to the aforementioned hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, or sulfur.

>>In addition additives are added, results in very strong and have a very long chain. It's difficult to break the bond and thin polymers results in melting instead of conducting electricity because of high temperature and different pressure conditions.
