Carbon , silicon and germanium have four valence elcectrons each . These are characterised by valence and conduction bands separated by energy band - gap respectively equal to ` (E_g)_(c) (E_g)_(si) ` and ` (E_g)_(Ge) `. Which of the following statements ture ?A. `(E_(g))_(Si) lt (E_(g))_(Ge) lt E_(g))_(C )`B. `(E_(g))_(C ) lt (E_(g))_(Ge) gt E_(g))_(Si)`C. `(E_(g))_(C ) gt (E_(g))_(Si) gt E_(g))_(Ge )`D. `(E_(g))_(D ) = (E_(g))_(Ge) = E_(g))_(Si)` |

Answer» Correct Answer - C (c ) Here, carbon has the highest resistivity and germanium has the lowest resistivity. `:.` Carbon has lowest conductivity and germanium has highest conductivity. So, carbon has highest band gas energy and germanium has lowest band gap energy. |
