Document Summary

Chm 115 - lecture 29 - material chemistry. In a collection of atoms, there is a finite number of discrete energy levels available for the electrons of those atoms. As the number of atoms in the group increases so does the number of available energy levels. As the number of available energy levels increases, the different available levels become closer and closer in energy, and form a seemingly continuous band of available energy levels. Electrons will fill the band of energy levels from the bottom up. Because of the way electrons fill the band, there will be a filled band at the bottom, known as the valence band. The unfilled band at the top is known as the conduction band. The band gap in between them is the energy difference between them. The size of the band gap is what determines the electrical properties of the material: Band gap energy is known as eg.
