Questions  

Carbon, silicon and germanium have four valence elements each. At room temperature which one of the following statement[s) is most appropriate ?

a
The number of free electrons for conduction is significant in all the three
b
The number of fee electrons for conduction is significant only in Si and Ge but small in C
c
The number of free conduction electrons is significant in C but small in Si and Ge
d
The number of free conduction electrons is negligibly small in all the three

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Si and Ge are semiconductors while carbon is insulator. Therefore, the number of free electrons for conduction issignificant only in Si and Ge but small in C.
