JEE MAIN - Physics (2002 - No. 22)
At absolute zero, Si acts as
non-metal
metal
insulator
none of these
Explanation
Pure silicon, at absolute zero, will contain all the electrons in bounded state. The conduction band will be empty. So there will be no free electrons (in conduction band) and holes (in valence band) due to thermal agitation. Pure silicon will act as insulator.
