Answer:

Insulator

Step-by-step explanation:

An insulator does not conduct electricity. Insulators offer high resistance to the free flow of electron. Rubber is a good insulator.

A conductor conducts electricity. Metals are good conductors of electricity. Metals have free flowing electrons that allow them to conduct electricity. As metals conduct electricity they have a distribution of charge on its surface.
