The difference between a conductor and an insulator is that a conductor allows electrons to travel. This is because the "outer electrons" of a conductor are not anchored like those of an insulator. Conductors tend to be metals.
Some examples of insulators are plastic, glass, rubber and wood.

Is argon a conductor semiconductor or not a conductor?
Its an Insulator
Is clay a conductor?
No it does not conduct electricity, and when hard it acts as an insulator..
Why is pure silicon chemically classified as a semiconductor?
because silicon and germanium can use as a both type of material conductor or insulator they found in nature as a non conducting element but we can turn them in to conductor by mixing some impurities and that process is known as damping.
Does increasing potential difference increase resistance?
Resistance is due to a property specific resistance of material. In no way resistance depends on the voltage applied. This is the case of ordinary conductor. But in case of semi conductor or insulator there may be chances to get a variation of conductance and hence resistance due to potential applied.
Would you expect cardboard to conduct electricity?
No, I wouldn't. It is more like a insulator, not a conductor. Silver conducts electricity the best. If a current were put through cardboard, it would most likely catch on fire, not conduct electricity.
