conductor:- which allow electron to travel very easily as compare to insulator and semiconductor because of its low energy band gape.
insulator:- which can not pass electron as good as conductor because of its band gape energy.
energy band: in all the metal,semiconductor and insulator there is energy gape.energy gape is due to arrangement of electron to shell and subshell which is related to quantum mechanics.
so the material between conductor and insulator is semiconductor because it has energy gape greater than the conductor and less than the insulator.
greater the energy gape less chance for electron to pass through the material
What else can I help you with?
Can a semiconductor be made to become a conductor or an insulator?
Yes, a semiconductor can be made to behave as a conductor or an insulator by controlling the amount of impurities added to it. Adding impurities through a process called doping can change the conductivity of the semiconductor material, making it act like a conductor or an insulator.
What do you call something that allows heat or electricity to pass through it?
A material that allows heat or electricity to pass through it is called a conductor. Conductors have high electrical and thermal conductivity, enabling them to carry electrical current or transfer heat effectively.
A material that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal?
Something that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal...conductor. If it does not conduct well it is called an insulator.
What is the name for something that doesn't let energy pass through it?
An insulator is a material that prevents the flow of energy or electricity through it. It has high resistance to the movement of energy, such as heat or electricity, compared to a conductor.
What is an electrical insulator an conductor?
An electrical insulator is a material that does not conduct electricity, meaning it prevents the flow of electrical current. Examples include rubber, glass, and plastic. In contrast, an electrical conductor is a material that allows the flow of electrical current, such as metals like copper and aluminum.
Material that is a poor conductor?
That is called an insulator.
If a material is neither a conductor or an insulator this type of materialis called what?
A material that is neither a conductor nor an insulator is called a semiconductor. Semiconductors have properties between those of conductors and insulators, making them useful for applications like computer chips and solar cells.
Can a semiconductor be made to become a conductor or an insulator?
Yes, a semiconductor can be made to behave as a conductor or an insulator by controlling the amount of impurities added to it. Adding impurities through a process called doping can change the conductivity of the semiconductor material, making it act like a conductor or an insulator.
A conductor differs from an insulator in that a conductor is an?
A conductor is a material that has one or a few electrons in the outer shell of its atoms. These electrons are easily knocked loose, or are already moving about in the material. When a voltage is applied to a conductor, these electrons are repelled by the negative polarity and attracted by the positive polarity. Their movement is called "current". a conductor is a material that transports electrons and electricity can pass through it, metals are good conductors. a insulator is something that is a barrier to electrons and can not pass electricity, rubber is a good insulator.
What are materials called which allow heat through?
It is called conductivity
What do you call something that allows heat or electricity to pass through it?
A material that allows heat or electricity to pass through it is called a conductor. Conductors have high electrical and thermal conductivity, enabling them to carry electrical current or transfer heat effectively.
What is the word that shows moderate electrical conductivity?
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.
What is a material that easily allows the flow of electric charge through it is called a semiconductor b insulator c superconductor d conductor?
conducts
Can you give me a definition of electrical conductive?
'Conductive', in the electrical sense, describes the property of a material which enables an electric current to pass through that material. An electric current is a drift of charge carriers -in the case of a metal, these charge carriers are negatively-charged free electrons, but in other materials, such as electrolytes (conducting fluids) the charge carriers may be charged atoms, called ions. For a material to act as a conductor, it needs to have sufficient charge carriers to support current flow; if there are too few, then we say the material is an insulator. There is no such thing as a 'perfect' conductor or a 'perfect' insulator, but we can list different materials on a scale where one end represents an excellent conductor (or a very poor insulator) and the opposite end represents an excellent insulator (or a very poor conductor). The property used to define whether a particular material is classified as a conductor or an insulator is termed its 'resistivity', expressed in ohm metres.

That would be an insulator.

Something that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal...conductor. If it does not conduct well it is called an insulator.
