Energy level/shell version of the conduction band in a solid?

As far as I know, the isolated version of the valence band is the valence shell, so the isolated version of the conduction band should be conduction shell?
As electrons in a lattice that are exposed to heat/light become excited and therefore jump to the conduction band from the valence band, which allows them to move throughout the solid. However, what happens on an isolated scale is where I'm confused.

E c denotes the lowest energy level of the conduction band and E v denotes the highest energy level of the valence band.
