Choose the correct statement. In conductors (a) valance band and conduction band overlap each other. (b) valance band and conduction band are separated by large energy gap. (c) valancè band and conduction band are separated by a small energy gap. (d) a very small number of electrons are available for electrical conduction.

Answer: (a). In conductors (metals) the valence and conduction bands overlap; there is no band gap. So a large number of free electrons is always available for conduction. So the answer is (a).
