### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Intrinsic Semiconductors**: - Intrinsic semiconductors are pure semiconductors without any significant dopant atoms present. They are characterized by their inherent electrical properties, which are solely determined by the semiconductor material itself. 2. **Definition of Extrinsic Semiconductors**: - Extrinsic semiconductors are semiconductors that have been doped with impurities to enhance their electrical conductivity. The presence of these impurities introduces additional charge carriers (electrons or holes) into the material. ...
