Hole is-
- A An anti-particle of electron
- B A vacancy created when an electron leaves a covalent bond
- C Absence of free electron
- D An artificially created particles
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) A vacancy created when an electron leaves a covalent bond
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In a semiconductor, when an electron gains enough energy to break free from its covalent bond, it leaves behind an empty space or "vacancy." This vacancy behaves like a positive charge carrier and is called a hole. B) A vacancy created when an electron leaves a covalent bond.
