An insulator has?

Everyday Science / Physics — Multiple-choice practice

  1. A. Completely filled valence band
  2. B. None of these
  3. C. Half-filled valance band
  4. D. Empty valance band

Correct answer

Completely filled valence band

Explanation

Explanation An insulator has a c ompletely filled valence band. Explanation: In an insulator, all the valence electrons are tightly bound to their atoms and cannot move freely, resulting in a filled valence band. Since there are no electrons available in the conduction band, they cannot move to it and conduct electricity.
