- Q1Silicon is a substance often used in electronic devices. Silicon has a high electrical resistance compared to metals which means that it does not release its electrons very easily. However, it does conduct electricity when the right conditions are met. These properties allow electronic devices to control the electrical current sent through silicon much easier than a typical metal substance. The properties of silicon would cause it to best be classified as a —insulatorsemiconductorsuperconductorconductor120s112.39.c.5.e
