What type of band structure in a solid allows electrons to flow easily, leading to conductivity?
Options
- AValence band structure
- BBand overlap structure
- CConduction band structure
- DBandgap structure
Correct answer
B. Band overlap structure
Step-by-step solution
A band overlap structure, where the valence band overlaps with a higher energy unoccupied conduction band, allows electrons to flow easily and leads to conductivity in a solid.
