MCQ
In insulators________. (C.B is conduction band and V.B is valence band)
  • A
    V.B. is partially filled with electrons.
  • B
    C.B. is partially filled with electrons.
  • C
    C.B. is empty and V.B. is filled with electrons.
  • D
    C.B. is filled with electrons and V.B. is empty.

Answer

  1. C.B. is empty and V.B. is filled with electrons.

Explanation:

As shown in the image, insulators have a very large forbidden gap. Their conduction band is empty, thus they cannot conduct electricity under normal room temperature and pressure conditions. The valence band is full.
