For a pure semiconductor energy band shown at 0K choose correct option:

In a semiconductor, the energy gap between the valence and conduction bands is 1. 1 eV. It is expressed in joules as

In a good conductor the energy gap between the conduction band and the valence band is

The forbidden energy gap of a germanium semiconductor is 0.75 eV. The minimum thermal energy of electrons reaching the conduction band from the valence band should be -

Assertion: If there is some gap between the conduction band and the valence band, electrons in the valence band all remain bound and no free electrons are available in the conduction band. Then the material is an insulator. Reason: Resistance of insulators is very low
