Question
Explain insulators.
✓
Answer
(1) In insulators the valence band is completely filled by electronics while conduction band is empty.
(2) The energy gap between valence band and conduction band in insulator is very large.
(3) Thermal energy is not sufficient to promote electrons from valence band to conduction band.
(4) Therefore, the conduction band in insulator remains vacant and does not allow the conduction of electricity.
