What is the one important difference between the charcteristics of the simple switch and those of an ideal diode?
The simple switch conducts in both directions. The ideal diode conducts in only one direction.
An SCR conducts appreciable current when Anode and gate are both negative?
No, an SCR conducts when the anode and gate are both positive.
What is a diode is like a?

What is the main characteristic of a diode?
It conducts in only one direction.
Is a diode an insulator?
No. A diode conducts in one direction but not in the other.
Does a silicon diode conduct in reverse bias?
If it's a silicon zener diode, it conducts in the reverse direction after the rated voltage is reached. Otherwise, it only conducts in the forward bias direction.
What is a conducting solution?
A conducting solution is a solution that either conducts heat, electricity or sound. The conductivity of a water solution depends on its concentration of dissolved salts and other substances that ionize in the solution.
