The upper level of valence band and lower level of conduction band overlap in the case of
The upper level of valence band and lower level of conduction band overlap in the case of
Updated On: Dec 26, 2024
- silicon
- copper
- carbon
- germanium
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In copper, the valence band and conduction band overlap, allowing electrons to flow freely and making copper an excellent conductor. In contrast, in materials like silicon and germanium, there is a gap between the valence and conduction bands, making them semiconductors.
