1.	Assertion : Ssemiconductors are solids with conductivities in the intermediate range from10^(-6) - 10^(4) ohm^(-1) m^(-1) Reason : Intermediate conductivity in semiconductor is due to partially filled valence band.
Answer» ASSERTION and reason both are corrct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion. Assertion and reson both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for asseration . Assertion is correct statement but reason is WRONG statement . Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement . SOLUTION :Correct Reason . Intermediate CONDUCTIVITY of semiconductors is due to small energy gap between filled valence band and empty CONDUCTION band.
