In energy band diagram of insulators, a band gap and the conduction band is respectively (a) very low and partially filled. (b) very high and completely filled. (c) very high and empty. (d) very low and empty.

Answer: (c). Insulators have a very large band gap ( Eg > 3 eV). No electrons can cross it, so the conduction band is empty. So the answer is (c) very high and empty.

In energy band diagram of insulators, a band gap and the conduction band is respectively

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

Insulators have a very large band gap ( $E_g > 3\text{ eV}$ ).
No electrons can cross it, so the conduction band is empty.
So the answer is (c) very high and empty.
