The probability of electrons to be found in the conduction band of an intrinsic semiconductor at a finite temperature

Assertion: The probability of electrons to be found in the conduction band of an intrinsic semiconductor at a finite temperature decrease exponentially with increasing band gap. Reason: It will be more difficult for the electron to cross over the large band gap while going from valence band to conduction band.

A N - type semiconductor is

Assertion: The conductivity of an intrinsic semiconductor depends on its temperature. Reason The conductivity of an intrinsic semiconductor is slightly higher than that of a lightly doped p-type semiconductor.

We have valence electrons and conduction electrons in a semiconductor. Do we also have "valence holes" and "conduction holes"?
