MCQ
Energy gaps between the highest band and the lowest empty bands in elements $A, B, C$ and $D$ are $0,70,530$ and $90 \ kJ\ mol−1.$ Then,
  • A
    Element $A$ is metal
  • B
    Element $C$ is insulator
  • C
    Element $B$ and $D$ can be semiconductors
  • All are correct conclusion about elements $A, B, C$ and $D$

Answer

Correct option: D.
All are correct conclusion about elements $A, B, C$ and $D$
Energy gaps between the highest band and the lowest empty bands is lowest in metals, moderate in semi conductors and very high in insulators. This suggests us that:
Element $A$ must be a metal, element $C$ must be an insulator and element $B$ and $D$ can be semiconductors.
