MCQ
A hole is:
  • A
    A positively charged electron.
  • B
    An electron in the valence band.
  • C
    An unfilled covalent bond.
  • D
    An excess electron in covalent bond.

Answer

  1. An unfilled covalent bond.

Explanation:

When the covalent bond breaks, electrons are freed from atom. The departure of electron from valence band creates vacancy in bond, this vacancy is known as hole. Hence, a hole is an unfilled covalent bond.
