Answer:
The band gap in a conductor is Zero.
The band gap in semiconductor is nearly equal to 1eV
For example : For silicon, band gap is 1.11eV
Insulators generally have very large band gap and thus they do not allow the electrons to jump from valance band to conduction band.
The band gap in an insulator ≥5eV
For example : Diamond has a band gap of 5.5eV
Hence the above given material with band gap of 5.0eV must be an insulator.
