Answer» Ininsulatorsthe electrons in the valencebandare separated by a largegapfrom the conductionband, inconductorslike metals the valencebandoverlaps the conductionband, and insemiconductorsthere is a small enoughgapbetween the valence and conductionbandsthat thermal or other excitations can bridge thegap |
