I don't know if I asked that question correctly, but I'm trying to find out 
which material makes the best insulator.  I know that a substances property of 
insulation has to do with it's valence electrons or something.  I need to know 
what determines the valence electron make up, and what the make up is like in 
cotton, wool, polyester, nylon, and rayon.  Please help!  Thanks.
