Substances that enhance the flow of current are called conductors

Substances that inhibit the flow of current are known as insulators

Substances that neither conduct nor inhibit are called semiconductors

Explanation:

Substances that enhance the flow of current are called conductors because they allow electrical charges to pass through them. Substances that inhibit the flow of current are known as insulators because they prevent the flow of electrical charges through them. Substances that neither conduct nor inhibit flow of current as well are called semiconductors. These substances although they cannot conduct of prevent the flow of current, in certain conditions they can be made to conduct and reversed as well.
