At absolute zero temperature Si acts as ……..

A

non metal

B

metal

C

insulator

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
insulator
At absolute zero temperature, valence band in the crystal structure is completely filled and there is no free electron in conduction ban means it is empty in the context of electric charge hence at this temperature it acts as a insulator.
