Question
In semiconductors, at a room temperature:

Answer

  1. The valence band is partially empty and the conduction band is partially filled.
Explanation:
In semiconductors at room temperature the electrons get enough energy so that they are able to over come the forbidden gap. Thus at room temperature the valence band is partially empty and conduction band is partially filled.
