In semiconductors at room temperature,

  1. A the valence band is completely filled and the conduction band partially filled.
  2. B the valence band is completely filled.
  3. C the conduction band is completely filled.
  4. D the valence band is partially empty and the conduction band partially filled.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) the valence band is partially empty and the conduction band partially filled.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In semiconductors at room temperature the electrons get enough energy so that they are able to over come the forbidden gap. Thus at room temperature the valence band is partially empty and conduction band is partially filled.
