A pure semiconductor behaves like an insulator at 00 K becauce
1 -There is no recombination of electrons with holes
2- Drift velocity of free electrons is very small
3-Free electrons are not available for current conduction
4 -Energy possessed by electrons at that low temperature is almost zero

Answer:
Explanation:
(4) is the correct option.
Energy possessed by electrons at that low temperature is almost zero.
A semiconductor's band gap is of the order of 3 eV at absolute zero. At zero degrees Celsius, a semiconductor behaves like an insulator because the electrons in the valence band lack the energy to transition to the conduction band.
Semiconductors :
Semiconductors can be pure elements like germanium or silicon or compounds like gallium arsenide. The ideas, characteristics, and mathematical strategy governing semiconductors are explained by physics. Semiconductors include, for example: Silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide are three of the most popular semiconductors.
