Chapter 12, Problem 12.7P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for low melting point for mercury should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The band theory is used to explain hardness, electrical conductivity, melting point for different metals. It can be explained as a theory related to set of MOs that have very less energy difference between them. These sets of MOs are also known as bands. Melting point of any metal depends on occupancy of both MOs, bonding and antibonding. When the electron from bonding MO can be excessed easily relative to antibonding MO electrons, then melting point metal is higher.

How Band theory differentiate between semiconductors and semi materials?
GaAs is a compound semiconductor commonly used for LEDs. Talk about the chemical bonds and crystal structures of GaAs crystals and explain why they become semiconductors, not metal alloys (consider the electronic structure of each atom and sp3 hybrid orbit).
