Insulator are bad conductors of heat and electric current.

They do not have the property of transferring heat and electricity from one point to another.

Why do you use semiconductor why not conductors and insulators by changing their properties?

We use semiconductors instead of conductors and insulators by changing their properties because the properties of a semiconductor lies between that of a good insulator ant that of a good conductor. Any of the materials obtained depends on the level of doping.

What are properties of nonmetal?

Nonmetals tend to have lower melting and boiling points than metals. They tend to be dull and brittle. They do not conduct heat or electricity. They are insulators.
