Updated On: Jul 12, 2022
- $\left(E_{g}\right)_{C}>\left(E_{g}\right)_{S i}$
- $\left(E_{g}\right)_{C}=\left(E_{g}\right)_{S i}$
- $\left(E_{g}\right)_{ C }
- $\left(E_{g}\right)_{C}>\left(E_{g}\right)_{S i}$
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Carbon, silicon and germanium are semiconductors.
$\left(E_{g}\right)_{C}=5.2\, eV $
$\left(E_{g}\right)_{S i}=1.21\, eV $
$\left(E_{g}\right)_{ Ge }=0.75\, eV$
Thus, $\left(E_{g}\right)_{C}>\left(E_{g}\right)_{S i}$ and $\left(E_{g}\right)_{C}>\left(E_{g}\right)_{G e}$
Elements carbon, silicon and germanium are found in IVA group of periodic table.
