A geranium is a flower, and not a semiconductor. The element Germanium, however, is a semiconductor, which means it has an electrical conductivity somewhere between that of a metal and an insulator.

What are materials called that do not allow a easy pathway flow of electricity?
They are usually called semi-conductors.
What is different between electricity and electronic?
Electricity is the flow of electrons through a cable. Electronics is set of conductors and semi-conductors (again kind of cables) through which electrons flow in specific way, needed by the machine.
What is the element used to make semi-conductors?
ice cream lollies and pie. this is a very healthy combination of foods. this will defiantly help you loose weight.
Is ohms law applicable to all the current carrying conductors?
Ohm's law is a linear approximation for the voltage versus current across a conductor. This approximation works very well for good conductors (like metals) as well as poor conductors (like wood), but not very well for semi-conductors (like Silicon).
Is silicone a conductor of electricity?
Silicon can conduct electricity, but not nearly as well as copper does. The conductivity of silicon depends a great deal on what is mixed with it, because this affects how tightly it holds on to its outer electrons. Silicon is the main ingredient in glass, which does not conduct electricity. Silicon is also used to make semi-conductors, which do conduct electricity, but still not as well as copper does. (That's why they're called semi-conductors instead of conductors.) It is a semiconductor and can be controlled by doping it with Arsenic, Indium, Gallium, etc. to become an insulator or good conductor when applying a voltage across it.

What are conductors insulators and semi conductors and super conductors?
b
What are semi-conductive metalloids?
Metalloids are known as semi-conductors meaning they can conduct electricity, but they are not good conductors. Metals are good conductors. Non-metals are bad conductors.
What are semi conducting substances?
Those which have resistivity in between conductors and insulators are known as semi conductors. Germanium and Silicon are very good examples of semiconducting materials whose resistivity of the order of 10 -2 to 10 4 ohm meter.
What family does germanium belong to in the periodic table?
Germanium belongs to family of metalloids.They are also known as semi conductors.
What kind of leaves does a geranium have?
A geranium leaf is the leaf of the geranium plant. Geraniums are a genus of flowering plants also known as cranesbills.
Do the resistors is made of semi conductors?
no
What is material constant for a semi conductors?
depends on what material you are using for a semi-conductor
Which Element used to make semi conductors?
silicon
What is the similarity of titanium and carbon?
They are both semi conductors
Is a cotton shirt insulators or a conductors?
semi conductor
What is the needed for doping?
To increase the conductivity of semi conductors
How are materials divided into conductors insulators and semi conductors according to the atomic theory?
by their ability to accept electrons
