Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Nitrogen cannot conduct electricity. It is an insulator because its electrons are not able to move freely.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nitrogen is neither electrically nor thermally conductive. Under normal conditions, there are no free electrons in nitrogen gas to conduct electricity. So it is not electrically conductive.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ionic solids do not conduct electricity in their solid state; however, in the liquid state and when dissolved in some solvent, they do conduct electricity.
