Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Good day!
I was studying and I got thinking.
Some biological masses like the body can act wholly as conductors of electricity. Though, such a mass(the body) contains insulators as well as conductors on it various levels; cellular and other wise, yet, it still conducts electricity. With that, some thoughts popped up, thus; firstly, is it possible to get a conductive inorganic substance like a solid copper mass fitted with insulative impurities? Secondly, if yes, would it still conduct electricity?

Hello there,

Interesting question! Unfortunately, I don't know the exact answer to that question, but I do suggest that you post in the Physical Sciences thread as well. There are likely chemistry and physics experts there who know much more about conduction than we do here.

Let us know if you have anymore questions!

Thanks connie. Much obliged.
