    Based on the energy band description, a solid can be classified as insulator the energy gap between the valance band and conduction band is

    A) \[3eV<{{E}_{g}}<6ev\]                  

    B)  \[{{E}_{g}}>6eV\]

    C) \[{{E}_{g}}<3eV\]                                            

    D)  \[{{E}_{g}}=0eV\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     In insulators, the forbidden energy gap is quite large. For example, the forbidden energy gap for diamond is 6 eV, which means that minimum of 6 eV energy is required to make the electron jump from the completely filled valence band to conduction band.
