  1. Question 1

    Q1. The energy gap between the valence and conduction bands in insulators is typically?

    • A) > 3 eV
    • B) < 1 eV
    • C) 1-3 eV
    • D) 0 eV

    Answer: > 3 eV

    Explanation: Insulators have a large energy gap (typically > 3 eV) between the valence and conduction bands, making it difficult for electrons to be excited.
