1Can you clarify this question? What do you mean by a "threshold voltage" and "static resistance"? Have you read something about this that is confusing? – Elliot Alderson Nov 27 '21 at 14:50

In forward conduction, a diode is often very crudely modelled as having a theshhold voltage and a static resistance. These are often accurate enough for designing bias circuits with them, but not for accurate work, and they don't help with understanding what a diode is or how it works.
In reverse blocking, the appropriate simple model is a leakage current and a breakdown voltage.
