superconductors, they have no resistance.
The resistance between a conductor and an insulator is: Wood, fabric, and water!
As temperature increases the resistance of semiconductors decreases. This means that semiconductors have a negative temperature coefficient.
Traditionally, a conductor has the least resistance of the three, followed by the semiconductor and finally the resistor.

The resistance between a conductor and an insulator is: Wood, fabric, and water!
As temperature increases the resistance of semiconductors decreases. This means that semiconductors have a negative temperature coefficient.
Good conductor = low resistance.
The resistance of a conductor is relatively low while an insulator should have very high resistance. The former is used to transmit electricity and the latter is designed to inhibit flow of electricity.
Traditionally, a conductor has the least resistance of the three, followed by the semiconductor and finally the resistor.
Any material is classified as conductor or insulator. There is no perfect conductor or perfect insulator. If a material exhibits more conductivity it is called a conductor and materials with very low conductivity are called insulators. Materials with moderate conductivity would have medium range resistance to electricity. In practice, though, a material either conducts or it doesn't. 'Moderate' would be determined by what you were comparing it to.
those material having conductivity between insulator and good conductor are known as semiconductors for example germanium and silicon.
