Insulators 11. 4 • In an insulator (such as plastic, rubber, glass, etc) the electrons are not free to move around the entire object. • They are generally restricted to moving only around the atom they are attached to. • They can move from one side of the atom to the other but are unable to leave the atom.

An insulator is a material that prevents electrons from flowing through it. Good Insulators
