Vedclass · Answer

(B) In a conductor,the valence band and conduction band overlap,so the forbidden energy gap $\Delta E_g$ is effectively $0 	ext{ eV}$.In a semiconductor,the forbidden energy gap is small,typically around $1 	ext{ eV}$ (e.g.,$1.1 	ext{ eV}$ for Silicon).In an insulator,the forbidden energy gap is very large,typically greater than $3 	ext{ eV}$ to $5 	ext{ eV}$.Therefore,the correct relation is $\Delta E_{g, 	ext{insulator}} > \Delta E_{g, 	ext{semiconductor}} > \Delta E_{g, 	ext{conductor}}$.

Which is the correct relation for the forbidden energy gap in a conductor,semiconductor,and insulator?
