What is it about metal elements that means their conduction and valence bands overlap, as opposed to non-metal elements where there is no overlap?

Hola mate !! ✨✨

here's your answer ....⬇️⬇️

The transfer of electrons from valence band to conduction band tells us about the conductivity of a substance.

The distance between them is known as band gap (if they don't overlap).

Since , there is no gap in metals , the transfer of electrons much easier than that in non metal which have band gap . Extra energy is required by the electrons to cross this band gap .

hope it helps !! ❤️❤️

______________________________________________


➡ In solid state the valence Band and conduction band are the bands which show the electrical conductivity in metals

➡ Highest range of the electro energy is in the valence Band in which the electrons are normally present in non metals

➡ In electronic state the lowest range is of the conduction band and there is much more temperature .

➡ Valence Band overlaps as its a separating factor and an energy range in solid where no electron exist .

➡ Electron conductivity of non metals is determined by the electrons present in them .
