Question
Two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from thecodes(a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is also false.
Assertion: Diamond behaves like an insulator.
Reason: There is a large energy gap between valence band and conduction band of diamond.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

In insulator, the forbidden energy gap is quite large. When electric field is applied to such a solid, the electron find it difficult to acquire such a large amount of energy. Thus no electron flow occurs.
