In terms of band theory differentiate Conductors, insulators & semi conductors

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

i. The energy gap between the valence band and C0nduction band in an instilator is very large whereas in a C0nductor, the energy gap is very small or.there is overlapping between valence band and C0nduction. band. ii: In a cōnductor. there is a very small energy gap or there is overlapping between valence band and C0ndụction band. but in a semiC0ndutor, there is always small energy gap between them.
