Rubber is actually an insulator as it cannot conduct electricity. This is because a normal molecule of rubber does not have free electrons. Due to this, electricity cannot be conducted.

Recently, an Indian scientist working at Cambridge University has created a rubber polymer which can conduct electricity. But this is done after much research and scientific manipulation. naturally occurring rubber is indeed an insulator.
Rubber is an insulator. That's why on a electric cord, there's rubber around it. it's used to stop the electricity from conduncting.

yes it is... think of wet suits and how they are used in Scuba diving as an insulator between water and your body Because it is not a conductor
