MCQ
The band spectrum is caused by :
  • Molecules.
  • B
    Atoms.
  • C
    Any substance in solid state.
  • D
    Any substance in liquid state.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Molecules.
The band spectrum is caused by molecules. The energy levels of molecules are so close to each other that they combine to form a band. The valence band and conduction band are two types of bands. Electron transition between these two bands forms band spectrum.
For example a spectrum of air. The bright bands are due to molecular oxygen $\ce{(O_2)},$ molecular nitrogen $\ce{(N_2)},$ and other molecules.
