Statement II The energy spread of each germanium atomic energy level is infinitesimally small.
- A Statement I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I
- B Statement I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is not a correct explanation for Statement I
- C Statement-I is true, Statement II is false
- D Statement-I is talse, Statement II is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Statement-I is true, Statement II is false
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Germanium, semi-conductor substance, has small band gap in comparison to insulator (non-metal).
On moving top to bottom in the group 14 band gap decreases.
