Assertion (A) : Group-`15`-doped crystal of `Si` are called `n`-type semiconductors.
Reason (R ) : Neutrons are responsible for the semi-conducting properties.

A

If both `(A)` and `(R)` are correct, and `(R)` is the correct explanation of `(A)`

B

If both `(A)` and `(R)` are correct, but `(R)` is not the correct explanation of `(A)`

C

If `(A)` is correct, but `(R)` is incorrect.

D

If both `(A)` is incorrect, but `(R)` is correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(A) is correct.
Correct (R): `n` stands for negative so electrons are responsible for semiconducting properties.
