The distinction between conductors, insulators and semiconductors is largely connected with

A

the type of crystal lattice

B

binding energy of their electrons

C

relative wudth of their energy gap

D

their ability to conduct current

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D

The conductors, semiconductors and insulators can be distinguished from the relative width of their energy gap between conduction and valence bands and their ability to conduct current.
