Question

C and Si both have same lattice structure, having 4 bonding electrons in each. However, C is insulatorwhere as Si is intrinsic semiconductor. This is because

Options

A.The four bonding electrons in the case of C lie in the third orbit, whereas for Si they lie in thefourth orbit
B.In case of C the valance band is not completely filled at absolute zero temperature
C.In case of C the conduction band is partly filled even at absolute zero temperature
D.The four bonding electrons in the case of C lie in the second orbit, whereas in the case of Si theylie in the third
