Q:

The valence band is the range of electronic states where electrons can exist for an atom in their ground state. The conduction band refers to the energy states that will allow for the delocalization of electrons for conduction. A large band gap - the distance between the conduction band and the valence band - would have a direct impact on which of the following?

A

the resistivity of the material

B

the capacitance of the material

C

the ionization energy of the material

D

the reactivity of the material
