    In a pure electric conductor the width of the forbidden band is :

    A)  5 to 10eV     

    B)  2.1eV

    C)  0.8eV         

    D)  zero

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: In a conductor, electric current can flow freely. In case of conductors, the partially filled conduction band [C] and the valence band [V] overlap. Hence, width of forbidden band is zero. Electrons of valence band move freely in partially filled conduction band. So, in pure electric conductor, forbidden gap is zero.
