Question
Chapter 26, Problem 26.22QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The nature of bonding in metals, insulators, and semiconductor elements has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Nature of bonding in a compound has to be described by the most familiar method molecular orbital theory. The bond formation between atoms has to be clearly known by using this method.
Molecular orbital theory: The interaction between two atomic orbitals gives new bonding and anti-bonding orbitals. These molecular orbital have energy gap, depending on energy gap these orbitals are closely spaced which is said to be band.
- The closely spaced filled energy levels will make the valence band.
- The upper half of the energy levels belongs to the empty, delocalized molecular orbitals. This set of closely spaced empty levels is said to be conduction band.
- Depending on these valence band and the conduction band the mobility of electrons in an atoms can easily we can say.
