✓

Answer

	$p \text { - type }$ semiconductor	$n \text { - type }$ semiconductor
1.	Trivalent impurity is added in pure semiconductor.	Pentavalent impurity is added in pure semiconductor.
2.	Exa. Boron, Al, In.	Exa. Phosphorous, Antimony, Arsenic etc.
3.	Holes are majority charge carriers and free electrons are the minority carriers.	Free electrons are the majority charge carriers and holes are the minority carriers.
4.	$n_h \gg n_e$	$n_e \gg n_h$
5.	Electricity conduction primarily occurs due to holes.	Electricity conduction primarily occurs due to motion of electrons.
