conductor\semiconductor\insulator\energy_ band_gap_theory Metal(conductor) - They posses very low resistivity (high conductivity) . Or Which type of material easily electric current passes through it. Ex-Gold(Au), silver(Ag), copper(Cu) ,Aluminium(Al) etc. Note - Silver is the best conductor of electricity. Insulator –They have high resistivity (low conductivity). or which type of material electric current does not passes through it. Ex-rubber, plastics, wood etc . Semiconductor -It is a material which electrical current partial passes through it. They have resistivity or conductivity intermediate to metal(conductor)and insulator. EX- 1. Elemental Semiconductor: Si and Ge . 2.compound semiconductor: inorganic - Cds , GaAs , CdSe , InP etc. organic – Anthracene , doped pthalocyanines etc organic polymers- polypyrrole,polyaniline etc. N
