Assertion :-(A) semiconductors are solids with conductivites in the intermediate range from`10^(-6)-10^(4) ohm ^(-1)m^(-1)`
Reason :-(R ) internmediate conductivity in semiconductor Is due to partially filled valence band .

A

Assertion and reason both are corrct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

B

Assertion and reson both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for asseration .

C

Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement .

D

Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Correct Reason . Intermediate conductivity of semiconductors is due to small energy gap between filled valence band and empty conduction band.
