Conductors transport electrical energy easily. You can transfer the energy at the electrical pole to you light bulb without much loss from friction through a conductor like copper. Some semi-conductors are very interesting because they can be made to vary the flow of electricity through them. A small electrical signal can control the resistance of electricity through the semi-conductor. Thus a small signal can be made into a large signal, this is called amplification.
In semiconductors, conductance is lower compared to conductors due to the presence of energy band gaps that restrict the movement of charge carriers. Conductors have high conductance because they have a high density of free electrons that can move easily and carry electric current.
Yes, semiconductors allow the flow of electricity better than insulators, but not as well as conductors. Semiconductors have conductivity values between those of conductors and insulators, making them useful for controlling the flow of electric current in electronic devices.
Aluminum is a conductor of electricity. It is commonly used in electrical wiring and transmission lines due to its high conductivity.
Well, nonmetals are opaque and brittle. They are also bad conductors of heat and electricity.
No, silicone is not an example of a semiconductor. Silicone is a polymer material, while semiconductors are materials that have intermediate electrical conductivity between conductors and insulators, such as silicon and germanium.

Group 14 elements such as silicon or germanium generally act as semi-conductors. Boron, a group 13 element, normally acts as a dopant in semiconductors.
