a metal that does not conduct electricity?

By definition, a metal conducts electricity.

something that will never corrode usually just plain old plastic

I don't remember the ordering, but there's probably some metal out there that won't react?  Gold, maybe?  For regular metal, that sounds a bit iffy.

Any of a number of elements, such as oxygen or sulfur, that lack the physical and chemical properties of metals.

It really depends on how free electrons are to move with depends on how the molecules are bonded together. So, covalent bonds, like those in glass, has the electrons constrained to an individual molecule, so they are not free to move much. The same is true of solid ionic bonds, like salt. However, an electrolyte like salt, dissolved in water makes a good conductor because the ions are free to move through the water,  so a current can flow though it. Metals are good conductors because the electrons are not constrained to a particular atom or area, the entire metal bonds together by sharing its electrons across the entire metal, and so they are free to move making it a good conductor for electricity.\n\nEdit: Despite what has been said, the number of valence electrons is not a great way to determine conductivity. For example, most metals, which are very good conductors, have two (and some, like gold I believe, have only one), whereas carbon, which is used in resistors because it doesn't conduct electricity as well, has four valence electrons.

Such a metal does not exists

Magnets attract to ferrous metals such as iron, nickel, cobalt, certain steels and other alloys. Brass, aluminum, copper, and most stainless steels, however, are non ferrous

A conductor will allow electricity to pass through it, an insulator will not

the metal is simply not exposed to the outside oxygen - it is shielded from it by the paint, which itself contains little, if any oxygen

There is no opposite word for electroplate. The the jewellery and cutlery trade use the terms Solid, Sterling or Britannia to refer to silver which is not plated.

I do not know unless it has a weak magnetic field around it or even static electricity

Simply put, it's not a conductor. \n\nhttp://jchemed.chem.wisc.edu/JCEsoft/CCA/CCA1/MVHTM/R0540/S567.HTM

I believe the answer is conductive.  This is the process in which things are silver plated.  \n\nHere's how it goes.You fill a tray that has been lined with aluminum foil with salt water ( or is it plain water ? ).  You run a current through the aluminum foil.  The electrons in the the foil get excited due to the electrical current and start releasing aluminum ions ( Al-, I think )  Now, take your rusty, dull ' silver ' spoon.  Place it in the bath for about 2 hours.  Be careful,  electricity, water and living things don't mix well.  After 2 hours, remove the electrical current source and remove the spoon.  The free ions in the water would have coated the spoon, making it shining again.\n\nActually, toothpaste to clean the spoon is easier.

It lacks the crystalline electron structure that elements like magnesium and iron have. Thus, it cannot align into electrical dipoles, and is not magnetic.
