Question

How many wave states are there in any one electronic band in a solid?

The number of corresponding single-atom wave states times the number of atoms.

One for every electron in the solid.

One for every electron in the band.

The number of corresponding single-atom wave states.

Why is a semiconductor a semiconductor?

Almost all states in the conduction band are filled, preventing conduction through the Pauli exclusion principle.

Almost all states in the conduction band are filled, preventing further occupancy.

Only a small fraction of valence electrons are excited into a conduction band.

Only a small fraction of valence electrons fall into available holes.

The number of corresponding single-atom wave states times the number of atoms.

One for every electron in the solid.

One for every electron in the band.

The number of corresponding single-atom wave states.

The number of corresponding single-atom wave states.

Only a small fraction of valence electrons fall into available holes.
