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.
  • $C.B.$ is empty and $V.B.$ is filled with electrons.
  • D
    $C.B$. is filled with electrons and $V.B.$ is empty.

Answer

Correct option: C.
$C.B.$ is empty and $V.B.$ is filled with electrons.
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.
