Question
In intrinsic semiconductors:

Answer

  1. n = p
Explanation:
Intrinsic semiconductors are pure ones. Hence there is no question of impurity. Valence band is the range of energy of electrons which are in the valence shell of the atoms of a substance. Conduction band is the range of energy of electrons which are free and available for conduction.
At room temperature, some electrons of intrinsic semiconductors get excited and reach the conduction band. During this process, the electrons leave empty spaces in the valence shell. These empty spaces are known as holes in a semiconductor. Number of free electrons (n) is equal to the number of holes (p).
