In what type of material is the energy gap between the valence band and the conduction band greatest: metal, semiconductor, or insulator? Explain.
There is no hole current in good conductors, because they (a) are full of electron gas (b) have large forbidden gap (c) have no valence band (d) have overlapping valence and conduction bands
Assertion: If the temperature of a semiconductor is increased then its resistance decreases. Reason: The energy gap between conduction band and valence band is very small. (A) A (B) $\mathrm{B}$ (C) $\overline{\mathrm{C}}$ (D) $\mathrm{D}$
