Answer:
A conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of charge in one or more directions. Materials made of metal are common electrical conductors.
ex - aluminium ,copper etc
An electrical insulator is a material in which electric current does not flow freely. The atoms of the insulator have tightly bound electrons which cannot readily move.
The most effective electrical insulators are: Rubber. Glass. Pure water.
A semiconductor material has an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a conductor, such as metallic copper, and an insulator, such as glass. Some examples of semiconductors are silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, and elements near the so-called "metalloid staircase" on the periodic table.
