The group of elements that do not conduct electricity are generally called non metals.

Elements in Group 1 and Group 17 of the periodic table tend to conduct electricity very well. Group 1 elements, such as lithium and sodium, have one electron in their outermost shell, making them highly reactive and good conductors of electricity. Group 17 elements, such as fluorine and chlorine, readily gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, also enabling them to conduct electricity.
Yes, Group 1A elements, also known as alkali metals, are good conductors of electricity. They have low ionization energies and readily lose their outer electron to form positive ions, which allows them to conduct electricity.
It is called an elemental group.
The radioactive element radium is a pretty good conductor of thermal and electrical energy. We see radium at the bottom of the Group 2 elements, the Alkaline Earth Metals. It can conduct heat and electricity well.
The elements in group 17 are collectively called the halogens.
