Band Theory - Example 4

In physics, a band is a range of energy levels for electrons in a solid, usually referring to the conduction band and the valence band. The conductivity of an electrical insulator is determined by the amount of charge that it can transfer per unit time, which is proportional to the number of electrons in the conduction band. The valence band is the highest energy band of electrons within a solid, and its electrons are responsible for chemical bonding with other atoms.
