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.
