Energy band gap is maximum in :
- A metals
- B semi-conductor
- C super conductor
- D insulator
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) insulator
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The energy band gap is the difference between the valence band and the conduction band. In insulators, this gap is very wide (typically \(>5 eV\) ), preventing electrons from moving to the conduction band and carrying current. D) insulator

- Answer the question on the basis of passage given below:
Second period elements of p-Block differs from the rest of their group members due to their small atomic size, high electronegativity, high ionization enthalpy and absence of d-orbitals. The elements from the second period like C, N, O have unique property of forming \(p \pi-p \pi\) multiple bonds whereas other heavier elements of p-block form \(d \pi-p \pi\) multiple bonds. This changes the properties of second period elements to great extent. Also the single bond strength of the p-block elements with their own atoms gets affected by their atomic size and presence of lone pairs.
Inert pair effect also affects the properties of the p-Block elements especially for those elements which are present from 4th period onward and this happens due to poor screening effect of inner (n-1)d subshell electrons.
