Question

In term of band theory whta is the diffrence between a conductor and semiconductor

Answer 1

$\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{Answer :}}}}}$

In a conductor, there is partially filled valence band or there is overlapping between valence band and conduction, whereas in a semiconductor there is small energy gap between valence band and conduction.

Answer 2

Answer:

In the terms of band theory the differences are as follows:

(i) In a conductor, there is overlapping between conduction band and balance band, whereas in an insulator there is a large energy gap between conduction and valence band.

(ii) In a conductor, there is partially filled valence band or there is overlapping between valence band and conduction, whereas in a semiconductor there is small energy gap between valence band and conduction.
